Been brewing extract kits for a couple of years now. I've steeped specialty grains and just brewed my first mini-mash kit last week.
I picked up a copy of Brewing Classic Styles and want to brew some recipes from there. I'm lost on how to brew with odd amounts of LME. Let's use the American Amber (pp. 137) as an example of what I'm talking about.
The recipe calls for 6.6 lbs of English Pale Ale LME and 0.7 lbs. of Munich LME. How does this work? I buy my ingredients from Northern Brewer, who only sells LME in 3.15 lb. and 6 lb. containers. Do I buy another container and just weigh it out?
Also, to complicate the question, how would I convert these recipes for mini-mash?
