substitute grain

[shineman]

i have a recipe that calls for 6.6 lbs. pale malt extract syrup and i would like to know what grains and how much to use to substitute in a ag recipe.
thanks, gary

You would sub base 2 row malt for the extract. How much to use depends on your extraction efficiency. It is roughly 10 lbs. of grain at 70% efficiency.

What kind of beer is it?

2 row. Marris Otter if you're doing something English--or want a touch more malt flavor.

thanks for the replys, the recipe is for a pale ale that was a 4 time GABF award winner that i wanted to give a try.
