So, I went down to my LHBS to get ingredients for John Palmer's extract w/ specialty grain esb recipe from how to brew. The recipe calls for 6.6 pounds of LME and I know throughout the book he refers to LIQUID malt extract as LME. When I asked the guy working there for a little bit of help gathering ingredients(me being a beginner) he looked at the recipe said that LME stands for LIGHT malt extract, as in light colored dry malt extract. So long story short I got dry malt extract because he told me to, made the beer and probably will end up with way too high of a gravity and now I'm wondering if he didn't know what he was talking about. Does anyone have any insight into this? Light vs liquid?
