Recipe conversion from all grain to partial question...

I recently found this Uerige Altbeir clone recipe on Zymurgy.

I have 2 questions regarding the conversion of hte 6.72kg of Weyermann Bohemian Pils malt: 1) What do you recommend that I use as an extract? Amber Extract? I don't know enough. 2) Since the brewer is assuming 90% effeciancy, do I need to adjust my correction factor of 0.6 for dry, or 0.75 for liquid? I don't know much about all-grain and 90% seems to be an exceptionally good sugar extraction. Let me know if I'm at all on base. How big of a difference will there be between the grains? I recently tried one of these tasty beers and loved it and want to make something similar.

 

yea, if your using a brewing program like beersmith or promash you can hit your efficiency lock button and it will adjust the amount of each grain in the recipe based on % of each malt as used in the recipe for your new eff.

Dont they make Pils extract?

 

At 90% eff, with your recipe, I get a OG of 1.046:

Converting to LME, I get:

Converting to DME, I get:

Sorry, don't know how to do the math, but I know how to use Beersmith! Hope this helps.

If you need to convert back to metric, use google. www.google.com , type in, (for example) "6 oz in grams" or "11 lb + 8 oz in grams"

 

Thanks for the quick responses. I appreciate it. Regarding the pils malt, I don't know if they do or not. I don't remember seeing it at my LHBS, so I figured I'd ask.

 

Okay, too much beer in my belly/head to figure out all the math. It was my understanding that there would be NO math!

However, I would look for a pilsner extract or a light/pale extract to substitute for a portion of the pilsner malt. I don't think amber would be the right choice. Then again, the first partial mash I ever did is still about two weeks out!!
