Converting extract to grain

Post by Beer Terrorist » Mon Mar 03, 2008 9:28 pm

I know I've seen it somewhere but can't seem to find it: what are the equivalent weights or grain and extract?

So 1kg of grain is 750g LME? What about DME?

I use this rule of thumb for DME to grain: 1kg DME light makes 1.6kg pale malt. I never use LME, only DME.

Enjoy!
