Planning on brewing an American Amber Ale recipe soon... it calls for 6.6. lbs Pale LME, 2 lbs Crystal 60, and a few hop additions that I don't remember exactly... I think it works out to an IBU of 40-50.
That's a little over 23% of the malt sugar coming from the Crystal 60. Do you think that will be too much, leading to maybe an excessive sweetness for this type of beer? I know not all American Ambers are created equal, but I keep thinking I heard of a % that you shouldn't exceed when adding Crystal...
