Hey all, I am in deep here, I have 2 batches going that havent even been bottles yet.. but I still want to do this from BYO

Founders Breakfast Stout
Ingredients:

6.6 lbs. (3.0 kg) Briess light, unhopped, malt extract
1.7 lbs. (0.77 kg) light dry extract
22 oz. (0.62 kg) flaked oats
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) chocolate malt (350 °L)
12 oz. (0.34 kg) roast barley malt (450 °L)
9.0 oz. (0.25 kg) debittered, black malt (530 °L)

White Labs WLP 001 (American Ale) or Wyeast 1056 (American Ale) yeast
0.75 cup (150 g) of corn sugar for priming (if bottling)


Question on the weights for the grains, does the recipe mean 6.6 as in 6 lbs and 6 oz. or actually 6.6 as in 105.6 total ounces?

Dumb question, but hey, at least I'm not asking if:

2 days enough to carb
should I secondary or not?
glass vs. plastic
is this infected?

And, has anyone made that brew and how did it come out? Thanks

When I was brewing extract I usually just rounded up the extract, because it was always more work to measure out the extract vs. just using 7 lbs. I have never brewed this stout before so I have no idea how it tastes, but it sounds good.

6.6 lbs is exactly that. It is 6 lbs 9.6 oz not 6 lbs 6 oz.
Or to be easier yet... since briess LME is sold in 3.3 lb cans... it equals 2 cans.
