What is the OG range for the Dark Mild style?

The original gravity (OG) range for the Dark Mild style is specifically set between 1.030 and 1.038, which corresponds with the style's parameters as recognized by various brewing guidelines. This range reflects the lower gravity levels typical of the Dark Mild, which is designed to be a sessionable, lower-alcohol beer, providing a malty profile without significant bitterness.

An OG within this range allows for the development of rich malt flavors while maintaining the style's characteristic drinkability, a hallmark of Mild Ales in general. The careful restriction to this gravity range ensures that the beer retains its defining features—like sweetness and malt complexity—without veering into higher alcohol territory, which would alter the style's intended character.
