Can anyone point me in the right direction for a converter or an equasion that I can use to replace extract with grain in a mini mash recipe. I am thinking about using 1 can of lme with sugars/dme being replaced with a mini mash of marris otter and specialty grains and added hops. I just need to know how much grain to use to get the same fermentables as 1kg of dme or sugar. Any help would be much appreciated. Btw I'm looking to get an sg of about 1046. Iv got a 8ltr pot to do it in. Is this big enough?

What's the recipe? If you're going to do a mash you can simply look at any all grain recipe and scale it down for your equipment.
If you have an 8l boiler I reckon you're looking at around a 5l final volume target.
Most ag recipes are for a 23l final volume, so just take each item and scale down (divide by 23 and multiply result by 5)

I'm kinda making the recipe up. I'm using 1 can of light lme, ?g of marris otter, 500g crystal, 250g chocolate malt, ?g cascade for bittering and ?g of fuggles for aroma.
Does this sound light a good recipe? Can anyone fill in the question marks for me please. Am I going to get enough fermentables from 5ltrs of wort? Will I need to add some dme?

as far as I know, LME has about 90% of the fermentables of an equivalent weight of DME. As to the remainder of the question, I'm not really sure :hmm:
