have done lots of searching and have found a recipe that combines everything i want in my xmas brew. doing an extract brew with grains. the only question i have is the brew calls for a breiss lme that i cant aquire, could i convert this to an all dme brew?

6.6 lbs. (3.0 kg) Briess light, unhopped,liquid malt extract
1.7 lbs. (0.77 kg) light dry extract
22 oz. (0.62 kg) flaked oats
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) chocolate malt (350 °L)
12 oz. (0.34 kg) roast barley malt (450 °L)
9.0 oz. (0.25 kg) debittered, black malt (530 °L)
7.0 oz. (0.19 kg) crystal malt (120 °L)
2.0 oz. (57 g) ground Sumatran coffee
2.0 oz. (57 g) ground Kona coffee
2.5 oz. (71 g) dark, bittersweet baker’s chocolate
14.3 AAU Nugget pellet hops (60 min.) (1.1 oz./ 31 g of 13% alpha acid)
2.5 AAU Willamette pellet hops (30 min.) (0.5 oz./ 14 g of 5 % alpha acid)
2.5 AAU Willamette pellet hops (0 min.) (0.5 oz./ 14 g of 5 % alpha acid)
1⁄2 tsp. yeast nutrient (last 15 minutes)
1⁄2 tsp. Irish moss (last 15 minutes
White Labs WLP 001 (American Ale) or Wyeast 1056 (American Ale) yeast
0.75 cup (150 g) of corn sugar for priming (if bottling)

planning on using a regular bakers cocoa rather than a dark from suggestions ive read on here, and im also planning on adding a small amount of "tea" made from mint i have in my garden and possibly i guess youd say dry minting in my secondary =)
 
You'll need less DME by weight. I believe you should sub 0.8 lbs of DME for every pound of LME.
