    My most local home brew shop is considering carrying DME. Right now they have a pitiful grain section that I am attempting to get them to replace with extract. I just got an email saying that they are considering an order and want my opinion what type would be most popular. So I enlist your help. The choices she gave me are Briess, Coopers and Muntons. So wha and t do you think and reasons. Thanks.

    My LHBS uses Briess (because it's cheaper) and it works great. I've used Muntons (and prefer it) but I think everyone would benefit cost-wise more from the domestic Briess and it's a fine company.

    It's not a HUGE difference between the two, anyway.

    Screw Coopers...not terrible, but not my preference.

    The only batch I've ever done with extract in it was with mutons, because it was an english ale, worked out well.

    The only DME I can get locally in Muntons, so that's what I use.
    With the way the pound is falling against the dollar, I wouldn't be surprised if Muntons is the cheapest.

    Yeah if they were a real brew store. They are more of a food store with brewing stuff.
