Steep grains in a bag at 155 degrees for 30 minutes. Sparge with 1/2 gallon 170 degree water. Allow grains to drip into pot, but don't squeeze. Discard grains. Bring to a boil and add:
4lbs Alexanders Pale LME
4LBS LDME

1/4 oz perle 30 minutes
1/4 oz perle 5 mins
1/4 oz saaz 5 mins.
1 tsp Irish Moss 15 minutes or Whirlfloc
I used pacman yeast. If pacman is not available, try 1056 (American Ale yeast).

f.g. was 1.018

Edit- More "slight" changes!
Shoot for an IBU range of 30-35. My perle hops have been all over the map as far as AAUs go- I have some that are 9.3% and some that are 6.9%, so you may need to adjust these amounts.

Reason: slight change in amounts
When you switched to Xldme did you re calculate the recipe to convert the Lme to 3.2 pounds DME....making a total of 7.2 pounds XLDME...or did you use 8 pounds?

For the record, Rogue lists their malts used in Dead Guy as Northwest Harrington, Klages, Maier Munich and Carastan. That said, any north american 2-row should be just fine as a base malt, and "true-to-form" for the original recipe. If you're curios, Carastan pretty much is the same as 40˚L crystal. I'll put making up an AG version of this on my brew-to-do list.

I just realized that in the last recipe (AG) I did at home, I made some changes, and I think it made it better. Here it is:AGDeadGuy.bsm

Thought this recipe looked great and thought I'd try the Extract version for my 3rd batch. However, by mistake I picked up White Labs California Ale Yeast. Anybody know if this will work with this recipe and what changes I can expect?

It'll work fine....I did it with Euro Ale Yeast and it came out fantastic...Any good clean ale yeast will work. You're going to love it, it's a great recipe!
