How do I convert an extract recipe to an advance all grain recipe?

Being that there are all kinds of recipes out there we often get asked how to change a recipe to match the way they currently brew. This can be fairly simple actually, but there are a few variables that change for each individual. You can look at the situation two ways, first, if you use Promash (or similar software) and the recipe publishes what the Original Gravity (O.G.) is then you can replace the base malt with extract, or vise versa to get the same original gravity. The second way is to approximate how much sugar one can generally expect out of that type of Base Malt and reverse engineer to make it work with how you usually brew. Base Grain malt to Liquid Extract Malt is usually a 20% difference, meaning if the recipe calls for 10lbs of 2-row, you can replace this with 8lbs of our Ultralight Liquid Malt Extract. If you prefer Dry Malt Extract, you would use 20% less than the liquid, so that would equate to 6.4lbs of the DME.
