hello all
So long story short, swmbo got me a brew kit for christmas. Since i've gotten the fever she has concluded that the house will have a max 10 gallon brew limit. However, all is not lost i have an ace in the pocket she who controls swmbo (swcswmbo) aka mother in law enjoys beer, particularly wheat beer, and she cant wait to taste some of my home brew.
So the next brew is a coopers extract wheat beer. This way i can put pressure on swmbo to allow me to brew more than 10 gallons. The directions indicate that i need 500g of dry malt extract, and 300g of dex so almost 2lbs worth off fermentables. Instead of of using 300g of dex can i substitute the rest of the dry malt extract? being a n00b i have no idea what will this do to the taste and aroma? Good or Bad?
sorry for the long post, but brewing is in jeopardy
