The only reason i can think of is not have the room to mash 13lbs of grain in the mash tun. Maybe it was brewed using brew in a bag tech.
 
Well damn i shouldve went with another full grain what would be a good alternative...anything?
 
i do what a few have called (and I like) "mostly mash." I do stove top batches, and the pot I use for an MT doesn't hold enough gsin for the higher abv beers. So, i add a couple of pounds of DME/LME to the boil to bring the gravity inline for a recipe.
 
What's wrong with adding 2 lbs of extract? It's not very much relative to the amount of grain being used...

If you don't want to use extract, and you have room in your tun for the grain needed, just substitute more grain for the extract.
