I did a search and didn't come up with much.. if anyone has a better search to enter I would appreciate any input.
I am in the process of gathering the bits and knowledge to go all grain but was wondering what the actual process was to creating DME and LME?
I feel I have a good grasp of what is accomplished in the AG process, I guess I am curious as to what/ how this is done? what is added? the process?
I have made good beer so far with extract kits and have not been disappointed...
To put it in perspective is it like buying a bag of frozen veggies with cheese whiz compared to fresh garden veggies and fresh natural cheese?
Is it just as simple as boiling down the wort to the LME stage or dehydrating to get to the DME stage?
The big question is....
Will it help me understand the brewing process any more?? lol
