I used this for my stout because I wanted a lot of body in it.
I know that this is higher in dextrins, and I sacrifice alcohol for the body, but the gravity of that stout last night at bottling time still seemed a bit too high. (This is one of the rare cases where I actually used my hydrometer because I was curious as to how the Laaglander was going to behave.)
Has anyone ever done a brew using ONLY Laaglander extract? If so, do you happen to know what your starting and finishing gravities were.

PS: my hatred of hydrometers has intensified. I broke the damn thing this morning when I was putting everything away. I now have no hydrometer in my equipment box, and I feel very liberated. The damn things only make me worry, so... GOOD RIDDANCE!
