I'm a new brewer and I'm still using extract kits ( I know, saving up for a tun) and was wondering what if any differences between dry and liquid malt extract?. Tks
The reason I ask is because my local brew store (Defaulco 's) LME turns all my batches into a "red colour". Tried using dextrose and it's fine but I wanna experiment with more options. I bought a Morgan's Canadian IPA and some of Defaulco s Amber Malt extract. Now...I know I don't have to boil the kit but I was thinking of boiling the wort and adding some Northern Brewer and SAAZ hop pellets. Any suggestions on how to proceed?. I basically want to make the extract kit better.
I find at my LHBS that DME is a lot more cost wise over LME to achieve the same ABV in beer.
Also the DME is twice the price of the LME here.

I bring a bucket and get as much LME at $1.95 a pound.That's odd... 3 lb bags of DME are $13 & 3.3 lb cans of LME are $13 here. You can't get LME in any smaller amount than the 3.3 pound can, while DME is $5 for 1-pound bag. I wonder why you are paying double-price for DME...
My LHBS LME is in it big drums and they pour out how much you need, you just need to bring the container. :rockin:Huh?
Defaulco's

I know but if you include shipping and the waiting around I'd rather just go to the store.
