I just finished reading "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" and I want to try using a general recipe outlined in the book. Here is the recipe then the question follows.
Recipe for 5 gallons
3-4 lbs prehopped LME
2lbs additional DME
Yeast
I want to make a hefeweizen, so I will be using the Coopers "Wheat" kit. I plan on using the yeast packet included with the can and making a starter 3 days ahead. My question is, for the additional 2 lbs of DME, should I use a light malt extract or should I use 2 lbs of dry wheat extract which is 55% wheat/45% malt?
