Hey,
Recently I went to my local (20 minute drive....) brew shop to get a Coopers wheat beer kit. I wanted to get 1kg Coopers DME of wheat malt to go with my can but the shop had none, but they reckoned LME was better anyway. So, I ended up fermenting 1.7kg of Coopers Wheat beer and 1.5kg of Coopers wheat malt (both LME), with Danstar Munich yeast. From what I've read it seems that DME is a better bet than LME, but was wondering what the consensus was. I was thinking that maybe they assumed I was adding hops (which I wasn't). After trying the wort it was definitely much sweeter than my other brews, but who knows what will happen after I taste the bugger properly.
Beer afficianados - what are your thoughts about this? All replies much welcomed.
Cheers,
EB.
