   Thank you for this info; i enjoyed your BU/GU explanation.
   I‘ve brewed a mild ale – still in primary; followed recipe; feel it’s a tad bitter for the style; found your post whilst deciding what to do – how to balance it. So, I decided it could only balanced by adding more volume. Not a problem, as my starting gravity was a bit high and I usually brew it strong and water it down before bottling. I boiled up a cup of brown sugar, since I was out of LME, and it will come out with perhaps 10 instead of 8 gallons, depending upon its mouthfeel before bottling. It’ll still be a delicious pint. Cheers!
