can you use dry malt extract in place of LMX. ?jrgtr42 said:Depends on what you're looking at it for. First, I should ask if you're talking about DME or LME? Around here, Boston MA, DME is less expensive than LME, I think. If you're talking about using it in your boil, you can use sugar, but you're not going to get the "beer" flavor from it. You can boil sugar and hops, and throw in yeast, you will get a fermented product, but I don't know if it'll be drinkable. If you want it for priming, yes, sugar is fine. You're talking about brewing, well, you can go all-grain, the ingredient calls are lower, but you will be investing in equipment to do that.

yes that's what I meant ! I figured the cost both ways it would be about the same .E_Marquez said:LMX? Or do you mean LME? LME = Liquid Malt Extract DME= Dry Malt Extract Functionally the same thing. LME has water weight, vs the dry, so different amounts of each are used to account for that and get a like finial effect . DME at Austin Homebrew Supply is $3.99 a lb ... or $10.49 if you're buying a 3lb bag

3.99 times 6 lbs. # 24$ and two three pound LME 24.00 you may use a half a pound less using DME. Not saving much?
