Jamil, like every other brewer, has things that he likes better than other things - this is pretty obvious if you read the entire book. He uses some of the same yeast strains for a lot of different beers. I think he likes MO malt for his base malt in nearly everything, so he recommends english pale alt malt extract.That said, English pale ale malts are inappropriate for AAA. It stuns me that the book recommends it. What were they thinking?

Again, avoid the Extra-Light. It's formulated with adjuncts to lighten the colour.

Yeah... a buddy of mine picked up a ton of the MO extract on clearance because his LHBS had stocked up on it anticipating the closure. Apparently they needed to upgrade their facilities and after running the numbers felt it wasn't worth it.Good lord - John Bull is closing!? Yeep!
I'm not disagreeing with you on that, just giving my impression on Jamil. He tends to use the same hops very frequently, too - he clearly prefers EKG to Fuggles.Anyhow. Maris Otter is a fine malt. It's just not appropriate for American ales of any type, in my not so humble opinion.
