Converting to all grain...

[tireater]

If I have a receipe that calls for 7 lbs of pale LME...How much grain do I need to buy? Thanks for reply...

i would go with 10-11 lbs 2-row, or american pilsner. is that all it is, or is there other grain or extract in that?

Id use about 8-9 pounds of 2-row.

LME has about 36 points per pound, close to the same as the typical 2-row

7 pounds of LME is an OG of 1.049
8.5 pounds of 2-row is an OG of 1.049

This is in 5 gal. of wort.

Thanks...I figure trying a receipe I like in extract will let me see the difference in an all grain brew...

Depending on your eff. you could use anywhere from 8 pounds to 11 pounds of grain. Id plan for 70%... and go from there.
