I am trying to move to all grain, since I now all the equipment I need and I wanted to try to convert an old extract recipe.
The extract recipe is:
8 Lbs DME
1/2 lbs Black Patent Malt
1/2 lbs Roasted Barley
1/2 Lbs Crystal Malt
1/2 Lbs Chocolate Malt
1.5 oz Northern Brewer Hops
1 oz Tettnanger
2 Pots Cold Brew Coffee
3 Tbs Cocoa Powder in Secondary
So reading on base grains, the simple conversion is 1lb grain = .75 LME = .6 DME, so I am looking at roughly 12.8 lbs of grain.
So I guess my question is, what base grain should I use for this? For bases it seems like 2 row and 6 row are primarily used, or am I missing something?
