dry malt or the extract

[wadelo]

I'm about to make my 2nd batch of beer and this kit came with dry ingredients instead of the extract. Is this going to be a lot more difficult than the first batch I made? Any tips to make this go smoother lol

Do you mean DME instead of LME?

Its still extract, whether its dry or liquid. It wont make any difference in difficulty.

DME will cause a boilover much quicker than LME (at least in my experience). Watch your kettle and add slowly.

I think that DME is a little more of a pian to mix in, but nothing major.

The only huge hot break I ever got from the dry was from wheat DME. The regular barley DME gets very little.

Id agree with that since the stuff floats on top until you can mix it in. Although you dont have to worry about scorching like a lme
