Can anyone please help translate this into an all grain recipe and steps please?

Crush and steep 1 lb Crystal/Caramel 10L and 1 lb Honey Malt at 150 degrees F for 30 minutes in 3 gallon water.

Sparge the grains with 1gallon water at 150 F. Add water to the brew pot for 3.5 gallons total volume. Bring the water to a boil, remove the pot from the stove, and add:

7 lb Briess Amber liquid malt extract ½ oz Columbus

Boil for 45 minutes then add:

¼ oz Cascade 1 tsp Irish moss 1 lb Lactose

Boil for 10 minutes then add

1 oz lemon zest ¼ oz Cascade

After 60 minute boil is complete, add 50 Lipton tea bags (in grain bag) then cool until the wort is 70 degrees. Remove tea bags after 20 minutes. Strain the cooled wort into the primary fermenter and add cold water to obtain 5 1/8 gallons. When the wort temperature is under 70 degrees F add White Labs California Ale yeast.

That's a hard one, because amber LME has some ingredients in it that aren't usually told by the manufacturer. You could guess that it could be some Munich malt, but I don't know that.

7 pounds LME= about 10 pounds of grain. So you could call that .5 pounds crystal 60L and .5 Munich malt, and 9 pounds pale malt.

So, as a guess:
9 pounds pale malt
.5 pound crystal 60L
.5 pound Munich malt
1 pound crystal 10L
1 pound honey malt

and the rest per the instructions.

That said, that recipe looks very sweet and tannic both from the tea and all of that sweet malt so I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. I wouldn't like it, but surely others would if you found the recipe somewhere.

The Ingredients of Briess Amber are proprietary, but you could probably get something close with a mix of 2-row and Vienna and/or Munich to about 10L. Play around with it in some brewing software... You'll want 9-9.5 lbs of grain to replace 7lbs LME...

According to Briess:

Use in the production of Pale Ales, Red and Amber Ales, Munich Style Beers, Bock and Oktoberfest Beers, Scottish Ales, and darker beers including Stouts and Porters

So you could maybe use all Munich 10L

looks like an attempt at hard tea (think twisted tea).

gah... @Yooper beat me to it!

Prolly 'cuz she knew what Briess Amber LME was and I had to look it up

Very sweet, then I saw 50 tea bags wow! We use maybe 6 tea bags for a gallon of sun tea.

 

[bleme]

My math came out pretty close to Yooper's
7.84lb pale malt
1lb Munich
1lb Crystal 10L
1lb Honey
.7lb Crystal 60L

Much appreciated all. I was thinking a 2-row/Vienna kind of mix. 50 tea bags does seem like a lot but, I was asked to do a twisted tea type thing and saw this. Rather than mess with it off the bat, I think I'm just going to Leeroy Jenkins the thing with all 50 and see what happens.

I was asked to do a twisted tea type thing
