Hopefully, this coming week. You are close with the approximation for the extract needed. But a litle over. You would need only ~6.25lbs of DME to get the OG of 1.050 in 5.5 gallons. Or ~7.4 pounds of LME. To really get a good sense of how to convert these numbers check out this post here: http://www.brew-dudes.com/working-with-ppg-and-specific-gravity/126 (And feel free to shoot me an email if I can help understand it better.) Steeping the crystal 15L and the little bit of chocolate (for color) would be perfectly acceptable as an extract recipe. As always I recommend the lightest colored extract you can get. I'd stay away from a pilsner extract though as you really need a little of that american 2-row flavor. SO Briess' extract light DME would be fine. You could buy 7lbs of it, use 0.75 to make a starter for your yeast then the rest would be used in the beer a few days later...AND no waste!!! Good luck let us know how it turns out if you try it! BREW ON! I am glad you like the recipe, I think I be firing this one up soon. Hopefully, this coming week.

If I were to make this an extract brew could I just convert the 12lbs of 2-row to 6.6 lbs of Briess Golden Light malt extract and use the crystal as a steeping grain for the extra flavor?
