2017 i made up a recipe and added some grains to a Mangroove jacks golden lager kit and I must of added DME for some reason not sure.....

anyway Id like to do a all grain version for my brewzilla 65L But thinking of keeping the DME in as it must of giving a unique taste or what ever that the gains did not....
I even won "Beer of the Show" with it

If i can i would prefer not to use DME but if it was the one thing the made it work I will use it, what do you think

Just plug everything into the recipe calculator, remove the DME and add the appropriate base malt back in so that your numbers are right.
 
All those wacky metric measurements... almost as bad as driving on the wrong(left) side of the road...

@J A for the win here. You can reverse engineer the desired result if you know your basic efficiency, boil off, hop AA/IBU's, etc.
if you have that and you starting and finishing gravities, you should be in business.
 
Yes, I have been doing partial mash, depending on how big the beer is. For sub 5% beers I don't use any DME, but above that I have been using 1-2 lbs. Having said that I am going to go back to full all grain, and use a coleman cooler mash tun. I will just use my brewzilla to heat water, and to boil. DME is fine, but it is expensive compared to grain per gravity point
