Fun with abbreviations..
Anyways, I brewed a bitter today, following this recipe, except instead of the 4.5 lbs. English light DME, I used 6 lbs. light LME. I took my hydrometer reading and it read 1.060. I thought something was screwy, so I took another in a different vessel, 1.060. Is that possible with that one little switch:
Palace Bitter (5 gal)
4.5 lbs English light DME (I used 6 lbs. LME)
12 oz crystal malt
1/2 oz English Fuggles (60 min)
3/4 oz Kent Goldings (60 min)
1/4 oz English Fuggles (30 min)
1/4 oz Kent Goldings (30 min)
1/2 oz Kent Goldings (15 min)
1/2 oz Kent Goldings (2 min)
English-style ale yeast
3/4 cup corn sugar (to prime)
OG 1.040 - 1.044
FG 1.008 - 1.012
IBU 26
Color 13 SRM
