Extract / partial-boil conversion available here, curious for feedback, too: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1077584/planet-christmas-ale-extract-partial-boil-

This partial boil splits the base malt to keep boil gravity such that we're utilizing our hops similarly for full-volume/all-grain.

Also, thinking adding DME before steep will make better use of the flaked corn.

I think a more accurate IBU will be calculated by adjusting pre-boil wort volume in this recipe to match what it would be in an all-grain brew.

4 of 5

Malty, smooth. A bit of maple. Lowish ABV. Almost Guinness but not so stout-like.
