comment What factors can lead to a higher attenuation?
Steeped grains can add to the OG. It depends on the grain. Crystal/Caramel malts will add gravity, because the starch within them has already been converted to sugar.

comment Dissolving Malt Extract for priming
My thought was that since the DME wouldn't get fully converted, it would leave some sweetness behind. And the lactose would give you a milky flavor. So the recipe is probably aiming for a sweet, milk stout.

comment What are some popular methods for measuring boil and HLT volume?
My understanding is that copper is used by yeast in their metabolism, which in what I meant by 'nutrient'. Not so much for drinker, but for the yeast. This has come up on this site before, I think: homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/2666/pennies-in-the-boil
