I just read the Brewers Association style guide of Mild Ale. I liked the look of the Lusty Gnome Midlands Mild recipe. The author specifies 11 lb. of 2-row pale malt or 9 lb. of "extract" yielding an OG of 1.058. From the general context, I tend to think he's calling for LME.
The problem is, any way that I calculate it, it can't come up with more that 6.5 lb. of DME or 7.75 lb. of LME. Using 9 lb. of LME gives me an OG 0f 1.07!
Has anyone tried this recipe?
