I'm currently making the transition from the Mr Beer malt extracts to LME from Briess, as well as upgrading my equipment. My question is I like the variety that Mr Beer offered with HME's such as Red Ale, Blonde Ale, etc. Obviously those are hopped but it seems that with Briess you have choices of Amber, Pilsen, Golden, etc. Its much more limited.
So my question is this, with Mr Beer are the HME basically the generic LME with hops added in the extract process? It just seems like my options are going to be much more limited if I don't use Mr Beer HME and if I am not using grains either.
Any advice is appreciated.
