If I get a chance I will look at my brewlog. For extract recipes (I do partial boil with top off) I don't worry about the OG all that much. If you top off at the end then you sample to measure...

I did the NB tripel recipe last year. After 6 weeks in primary I did bottle and cellared for 3 months. I think it turned out pretty well.

I fermented the extract versions of bavarian hefeweizen and patersbier last summer. Ambient temps around 70 F in my basement. Both turned out wonderful.

I believe it is essentially base malt with some carapils. So, I think the NW gold would be fine. Anything termed "light" would probably be fine as well. You may want to steep 1/2# of carapils with...

I think one of the problems with this recipe is that your specialty grains all need to be mashed. Therefore, I don't know if you are getting everything you need out of them with only steeping.
