I have a recipe that calls for 6.6 pounds of "Briess CBW Traditional Dark Malt Extract Syrup" that I'd like to convert to BIAB. There are no other grains in the recipe. I went to the Briess site and found this "Produced from a big grist, this intense malty flavored extract is excellent for color adjustment. Ingredients: Base Malt, Caramel Malt 60L, Munich Malt, Black Malt." and 30 degrees (8 degrees Plato).
Recipe is for 5 gallons @ 1.046-1.050 20 SRM
Any idea how to figure out the percentages of those ingredients as grains? I'd just go with the LME but it is quite spendy!
TIA

Thanks!
Looks great by the numbers. But is there a a way to estimate (rule of thumb) % for each because you could crunch different amounts and get to the same numbers but have a totally different flavor profile. I'd say 75% base malt is a pretty good start (60-80). Carafa @ 5% makes sense with how dark it is. How is the balance for the caramel and munich determined? I would have guessed more munich but by how much?

My personal choice would be to have 1kg of Munich, because I love the flavour it imparts. The reason I kept it low was to stick to the original recipe you had 1046 - 1050 OG.
You could always use a dark munich and use more while cutting back on the crystal. Make the recipe along the lines of 75, 15, 5 & 5% ???
I don't have a rule of thumb, I just fly by the seat of my pants
