I just switched to AG and am trying to convert the following extract recipe. I don't have a software program right now and did some research on methods and equations. Here is what I'm thinking:
Original Extract Recipe:
6lbs Amber LME
1 lb 2row
3/4 lb Brown
1 lb Special B
1/4 lb Chocolate
1/2 lb Carapils
1oz cascade at 45
1oz Fuggles at 10
The converted recipe as far as I can tell and figure would replace the 6lbs of LME with 9lbs of Amber Malt. Does this sound right and look right. I read that converting the darker malts is a little trickier than the light malts.
I'm thinking I want a little more creamy/thicker mouth feel so plan to add 1/2lb of flaked oats. Does that make sense, or sound good?
Thanks
