I want to use it all up in one beer I bought it to brew thru the hot months here in AZ , I am going back to all grain after this batch ..

If it's a 5 gallon batch, you're going to have an absurdly high gravity. Why not save some for making yeast starters in the future?

I use 3lbs of plain DME with 4-6lbs of grains. A few partial mash beers should use'em up. Just change the crystal malts,color malts,etc to vary the styles a bit. That should do it.

I agree, that's a good idea.

If you're looking to use of MOST of that DME with 1 batch, I would recommend either a Wheat IPA or a Belgian Golden Strong.

• Wheat IPA would use equal parts light DME and Wheat DME + a lot of big american hops.
• Belgian Golden Strong would use most (or all) of your light DME, a pound or two of your wheat DME, some specialty grains, and some noble hops.

That's my 2 cents, happy brewing!

Just the extract alone is going to give something like 1.125 OG. You could add other stuff brew it up and wait until NEXT October to drink it!

well I would use the LME and a saison yeast and like many people are saying save the DME for starters.

I would do a big RIS. Steep 1#chocolate malt, .5#black patent, .75#crystal 60 or 80. With some good strong hops. Let sit for a year and it will be ready for the holidays 2014.
