I'm planning on picking up one of those 55 Lb bags of DME, now heres my question...
I was planing on getting extra light and using it as a base for all my recipes and i was wondering if a recipe calls for lets say amber DME can i achieve the same results using Extra light DME and steeping specific grains to achieve the flavor and color. or does the difference in breakdown of different malt extracts mean i must use those malts if i want to stick within the guidelines of a recipe. oh and if grains can be substituted does anyone have a link to a chart or good reference on what substitutions will achieve what, oh and I have thumbed through the conversion of all grains to extracts PDF thats been posted a few times and at first look did not see what i was looking for but haven't had time to give it the thorough read it disserves so i apologize if its in there.
