DME vs LME.

Huh?

My LHBS LME is in it big drums and they pour out how much you need, you just need to bring the container. :rockin:

 

[DreBourbon]

Wow. That's awesome

Defaulco's

Unfortunately Ottawa's a little far to drive for me to save on LME

And this is what happened to my carboy today. 3 hours cleanup. Fml.

That sucks, man. At least no one got hurt...

The reason I ask is because my local brew store (Defaulco 's) LME turns all my batches into a "red colour". Tried using dextrose and it's fine but I wanna experiment with more options. I bought a Morgan's Canadian IPA and some of Defaulco s Amber Malt extract. Now...I know I don't have to boil the kit but I was thinking of boiling the wort and adding some Northern Brewer and SAAZ hop pellets. Any suggestions on how to proceed?. I basically want to make the extract kit better.

You are obviously in the Ottawa area... DME at Defalcos is way too expensive relative to http://www.beergrains.com/ , and they do free delivery to Ottawa.

I know but if you include shipping and the waiting around I'd rather just go to the store.

Defalcos:

Amber DME, 500g - $7.29 = $1.458/100g
1kg $12.79 = $1.249/100g
shipping = $0.00

Beer Grains:

Amber DME, 1lb (454g) - $4.29 = $0.945/100g
3lb (1.36kg) $11.99 = $0.881/100g
shipping = $0.00

So ~ $3 cheaper by the pound and no shipping to Ottawa - you obviously did not read what I wrote very closely.

If you want to pay 145% to 154% more, fill your boots. I am OK with planning ahead for the bi-weekly FREE delivery and getting more beer for my money.

Weren't you complaining about the high cost of DME? (Your post #8, #21, as well as several other comments, for reference)

I dont appreciate being told how to spend my money.

 

[DreBourbon]

You must have nothing else better to do then to reference people's posts...wow.

LOL. You DO have reading comprehension issues. Nowhere did I do so.

I could not care less where or how you spend your money.

Mocking is not telling. Yes, I was making fun of you. Apparently shipping of $0.00 is too expensive. Or something like that.

When you complain about something and you are provided with an alternative, if you are going to reject it you could at least demonstrate that you read and understood what you are responding to and don't use as a reason for rejection something that was explicitly stated not to be the case.

If you want to buy local because convenience and instant gratification are more important to you than cost, fill your boots. It's your money, and yes, you can spend it how you like.

Look. If you feel like adding rude or unnecessary posts to a thread like this, please instead just report it.

Or just leave it alone. No call to start making fun of people or add to the dysfunctionality.

We don't want that kind of crap littering the tech forums where people are trying to learn. If you don't' have anything nice or helpful, walk away.

Well said
