Instead of 5lbs light DME and 1.5 lbs honey, would 7lbs Light malt exract(syrup) work? 1-3lbs DME = $13 1-1lbs DME =$5 (X2=$10) but one 7lbs light malt extract in a tub = $16. I know good beer means superior ingredients, but there is almost a $10 difference there. OR, How much malt extract in a tub would = 5lbs DME? guess I could pour out that amount and just re-seal and freeze that malt extract for another batch-o-beer. The 5 lbs DME is a very expensive venture. Also, I notice that the hop schedule for AG and extract differs, by the tune of .25oz chinook and pellet vs whole hop northern brewer. Think I'll just use the AG hop schedule, That wouldn't hurt anything would it? Any suggestions on the extract anyone? Help, I really want to brew some .06.06.06 but don't want to spend $35 on 5 gal when I'm sure it could be done on $27!
