Byo has a moose drool recipe. But it starts with extract.
http://***********/component/resource/article/2148-15th-anniversary-clones
2.75 lbs. (1.3 kg) light dried malt extract
4.0 lbs. (1.8 kg) light liquid malt extract

I figure light DME converts to 2 row at 2lbs grain to 1lb DME.
What would light LME convert to ?

light LME doesn't appear in BrewSmith's ingredient list.

Thx.
 
Moose Drool was their first Can You Brew It show and it was cloned...and it's great.
 
It looks like you might go with another recipe, but for future reference, just put the recipe into a calculator (hopville is free online if you don't have Beersmith or Promash) and add the specialty grains to the recipe first, then add base grain and guess and check with the weight until you hit the target OG. The conversion between extract and base grain is different depending on your efficiency, so this is the best way to do it IMO.
