How Much LME?

[Antler]

I've been making sugar washes with turbo yeast to make "wine coolers" and things like that for the wife, was wondering how I could make something like this but more like a beer. I'm going to stay clear of the turbo yeast for this one and try distillers yeast. How much LME (5 gallon batch) would I need to get to 10-12% abv?

well I have never went up that far with the alc content but 14 lbs of lme should be close. But what are you trying to make? A decent 12% beer takes a lot of time to condition as in several months. But if your just goofing off than it does not matter.
