I have a recipe for a chocolate raspberry stout that I want to brew for the holidays. I called my LHBS to check if they had all the ingredients and they did with one exception - the recipe calls for Dark LME and they don't have any. They do have dark DME and said I can substitute that (they mentioned a ratio but I don't remember it now).
Is there any difference in the final brew when you substitute DME for LME as they have suggested? This is my first time with this recipe and I want it to come out good Here's the recipe for your reference
0.25 lbs. American Chocolate Malt
0.25 lbs. American Black Patent
3.3 lbs. Dark
3 lbs. Dry Amber Extract
0.25 lbs. Molasses
0.25 lbs. Lactose
1.0 oz. Cascade (Pellets, 6.8 %AA) boiled 60 min.
1 oz. Fuggle (Pellets, 4.5 %AA) boiled 5 min.
3 ounces Raspberry Extract (not included in calculations)
