Evidently, my eyes are failing as I get older. Just got back from the homebrew shop and found out I had purchased Dried rice extract instead of DME. My old (from 2000?) starter instructions had me putting in 4 tbs of DME for a 500ml starter.
Does anyone know what the equivalent would be with the rice extract? I tasted a finger of it after I read my receipt, it doesn't taste very sweet... Can I use these interchangeably? I'm planning on brewing a malty brown ale, OG somewhere near 1055 or so. I assume I want the starter to be near the beer it will be pitched into.
I'm just getting back on the horse after having a kid 5 years ago (today, actually), I haven't brewed since 2003. Look forward to lurking and participating more.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide. I'll stop by the introduction area later this evening and formally say Hi.
