Does anyone know how to convert these to extract,

13 lbs Belgian Pils
2 lbs Belgian Munich
3 oz lbs Belgian Chocolate Malt

I'm relatively new to brewing and can't mash and have never partial mashed before. This is from a Troegs Mad Elf clone.

What size batch is that recipe for?

According to Beer Smith the extract conversion is as follows:

Belgain Pilsner (2 Row) = Pilsner Liquid Extract
Belgain Munich = Amber Liquid Extract or Munich Liquid Extract if you can find it
Chocolate Malt can be steeped
 
13lbs pils = 9.75lbs extra light/pils LME = 7.8lbs DME
2lbs munich = 5.33lbs Munich LME (cuz its only 50% munich)
Personally, I'd just put the 2lbs munich and 3oz chocolate loosely in a muslin bag and steep them in 1gal water @150-160 for 30-60mins, pull the grains and then go about the rest as you usually would with 10lbs of extra light LME (or 8lbs of DME, whatever the preference)..... then you'd be doing your first partial mash, simple as can be
