As I read more and more, I've come to realize that many recipes I've seen online (excluding all-grain brews) use either exclusively liquid malt extract, or a combination of liquid malt extract and dry malt extract only as a sugar-substitute.
However, I have not seen any recipes where dry malt extract (DME) is used exclusively. Is it possible to make quality brews using exclusively DME, water, and other grains/adjuncts, or is liquid malt necessary in making a quality brew? The reason I ask is because liquid malt extract is more difficult to store, since I only make 3 gallons at a time.
Furthermore, if DME can be used without LME, how many lbs. of DME is equivalent to a 3.3 lb. can of liquid malt?
