Extract to ALL Grain conversion help

[Benedetto]

Howdy,

I brewed an excellent IPA with extract about two years ago, and I'd like to be able to replicate it with all grain. Here's the recipe for 5 gallons:

8 lb Golden DME

2 1/2 oz Caramunich 45L
4 oz Honey Malt
2 or 3 oz Victory Malt (didn't remember by the time I wrote it down)


4 oz Citra pellets (1 each at 60, 15, 5, and 0)
2 oz Citra pellets (dry hop)
1 oz Chinook pellets (dry hop) (all three together for a week)

1/2 tsp Irish Moss


WLP001 California Ale yeast w/ starter

5 oz priming sugar

OG: 1.066
FG: 1.012

If anyone can help me out with replicating with AG, what the 8lbs of Golden DME along with the other specialty grains created, I'd really appreciate it!
If it's any help, here's a photo so you can see color.

btw if you like Citra go ahead and make this. It was one of my favorite homebrews. The bit of honey malt made it totally awesome.

Thanks!
Kevin

I think golden extracts are mostly 2-row and cara-pils, but you could look at the website of the company who made it to be sure.

Keep the specialty grains the same and replace the 8 lbs of DME with the base malt of your choice. You don't mention your efficiency but at 75% 1 lb of grain = 0.6 lb DME, so you'd need about 13.3 lbs grain.

Efficiency is unfortunately low. Usually in low 60s.

I have really hard water here, and no grain mill yet so I am using the crush I get from the seller.

Then use about 2 lbs of grain for every lb of DME.
