Hi everyone,

I'm trying to convert AG into extract and I came across the North English Brown Ale recipe (too many APA's done). What I am wondering is the conversion of the base malt into extract correct. I only want to convert the base as I'll steep the other grains. From what I have read, I just multiply the base malt by 0.75 to get the equivalent in extract, this came to 2.6. I rounded it down to 2.5 as I get 1 and 0.5 litre tubs. The yeast listed is suppose to be just a Muntons gold. Thanks in advance.

Here is my version of the recipe.

If your gravity figures correspond to the original recipe, you should be in the ball park.
 
Colour looks a little light for my 2 cents, maybe push up to 30 or so, apart from that go for it.

Thanks Daz, just pushed the colour up to 31, 100g of choc malt.
 
MMmmmm

try roasting some base malt in the oven at about 180* for 1hr on a tray

Very strong flavour, but when used in a partial comes out awsome, even better in a full mash
