Oct 25, 2012 · By adding the bulk of the LME at the end of the boil, you keep the wort less sugar-dense, more like a comparable AG batch, and decrease the corresponding maillard reactions and browning of the wort. If you've ever boiled down first runnings (say, like when making a Scottish ale), you can see the difference when you start with a more sugar-dense ...

Mar 6, 2025 · In my limited experience with LME, Williams Brewing (HBT sponsor) was able this - and if shipping from them to me was 1-2 days, I would likely use their LME products more often. The usual approach (full volume boil, part of the 'extract' at the start of the boil, the rest at the end of the boil) will help .

Sep 8, 2012 · It calls for 8.6 lb of light LME and 1 lb of Munich LME. First off I wanted to try substituting DME for the LME, so I plugged the original recipe into Beersmith and made a modified version that looked ok with the numbers (using the 80% DME/LME ratio in my calculations). Then I looked into Munich.

Jan 30, 2008 · Sorry to dig this thread up but I was looking on a quick reference for how much LME to use for a starter and found it. Assuming that the weight to volume conversions in the post above are correct (1oz LME = 0.125 cup), 0.625 cups (5oz) of LME for one a 1 pint (2 cups) starter seams like way to much. Plugging that into Beer Smith gives an OG of ...

May 22, 2015 · Adding LME or DME results in some non-fermentables being left behind and a higher FG. All depends on what you are looking for in your final product. One word of warning, I have added corn sugar at the end of a boil to a couple of batches and ended up with a bit of a hot alcohol taste in the beer.

Jan 21, 2015 · You would need about 20% more LME than DME, by weight. Trying to measure by volume can be very inaccurate. LME has about 37 points per gallon, while DME has about 44. It will also be a good idea to use a pitch rate/starter calculator. Just making a certain size starter may not propagate the number of cells you need for your beer.

Oct 1, 2006 · On the morebeer.com website they have the following 2 kinds of LME: German Pils Extract - "this light blond extract is 100% made from Durst brand German Pilsner malt." Ultralight Extract - "by Alexanders this extract is 100% made from Great Western 2 …

Nov 2, 2017 · NB gets it's LME from Briess and sells it under the name of Maillard. If you want to know the spec on a Maillard LME, go check the Briess website. Selling the malt under their own name would give them the option to change Suppliers, if they had issues with Briess.

Feb 4, 2010 · Yes, many stores have bulk LME for sale. So, you can buy a pound or two (or 20). The canned LME isn't nearly as good, in my opinion. I've had to buy cans when I needed a specific kind of LME, but my preference is by far to use DME. Many recipes can use DME instead of LME, and will taste fresher than using canned LME.
