I've made a few of the coopers kits so far. And they have come out OK. each of which I have experimented with brown sugar, and corn sugar. I understand that using DME or LME will produce MUCH better results. But this leads to a much higher cost per batch.
This leads me to believe that if I am buying a bunch of DME, is this in essence ALMOST basicly the same as the LME they supply in the kit ?? (just hopped up a little bit)
I can get 3lbs of DME @ my LHBS for $12. which isn't bad. Would it be more affordable to just make my own recipees ??? which ones should I check out first? would I just add hops to my boil of DME to create the same wort that I would have otherwise bought in the kit ?
Ideas ?
