California to-be Brewer

[JedSmithBrewery]

I've made a few posts but I am totally new and want to introduce myself. I just have one question, what does the # sign mean in recipes. I assume it means lbs. but want to be sure. For example:

Fermentables:
3# extra light DME
5# wheat LME (add with 15 min left in boil)
