DME converted to LME


I have a recipe calling for 4lbs of of DME; however I want to convert it to liquid [LME].


How may LBS (pounds) of LME would I need?

 

[jaycount]

4 * 1.25 = 5 lbs LME

1 lbs grain : .75 lbs LME : .60 lbs DME

1.2 times is a closer measurement and supported by most beer softwares. It's minimal and not to nitpick, but I use DME as being 1.2 x LME - or reversed LME being .80 to DME. So if you start with 4lbs DME I would use 4 x 1.2 = 4.8lbs LME, because LME is about about 20% water.

Whenever I have to convert I use the search function to find a thread that has the conversion in it.

It would be super handy if there was a sticky that converted this stuff:

2 row malt -> DME
2 row malt -> LME
DME -> LME and vice versa
