I am a beginner who purchased a home brewing beer kit.
I also purchased and read a book called the 'home brewing guide'.
I watched as many online videos as i could find.
The kit used dried malt extract and malted barley extract in a can.
Bought the Irish Stout "all malt"
it came with the hops, barley grains,adjuncts...etc
My very first batch
My goal: To someday create a sweet chocolate milk stout
My Question: I see recipes that do not use LME and DME. Should I steer away from brewing using these ingredients? Are these just easier and more generic ways to obtain sugars vs using grains? Do they cheapen the taste?
