Muntons Extra Light DME - Is it all 2-Row?

[BullGator]

I have heard a lot of DME is not 100% from 2-Row grain. I am trying to mash some more grain to use less DME in a recipe that was a older extract recipe of mine (basically converting an extract recipe to all-grain). I cannot seem to find whether Munton's extra light DME is 100% from 2-row or whether there are some percentages of other things like wheat in it. Anybody know this?

Good.question. British 2 row maybe? Or even maris otter?

Muntons Extra Light DME is most likely above 95% British 2-row with a dash of carapils. A quality product with good character IMO. It's not Maris Otter.

The ppg/L ratings are 37 ppg and 3 L... very close to 2-row grain. I believe Briess Golden Light by comparison is 43 ppg, 5 L.

So I would be safe replacing the DME portion of my grain bill with 2-row then right?

My recipe was a partial mash before so I had 3lbs of DME and about 15.5lbs of other grain (2-row, caramunich, munich, crystal) in a 10 gallon batch. So now I am going to bump up the 2-row from 8 lbs to about 12.5 to use all-grain this time.

Keep in mind that it will likely be a different beer than the extract version. I've brewed many of my old exract recipes AG and they weren't the same. Good beer, but not the same.
