I've used both and had a good experience brewing with either choice, however i found the dme produced a slightly thinner beer while the liquid malt gave a better body and ramped up the malty flavour. I used hopped light dme in an ipa and the liquid malt in a hybrid lager.
I find it's easier to add all your dry goods(except yeast obviously) to the fermenter before the liquids. Get it in there nice and dry, then add warm or hot water.
@@aidanoconnor7299 Yeah do it on the stove. My first spraymalt I just did it in the no boil fermenter with warm water. HUGE regret lol. Took so long to fish out the lumps to melt in a pot.
I've just brewed my first time with the Extra Light LME. I wanted to ask if the LME is made from one base malt, or multiple base malts? I wondered if it was possible to call my brew a SMASH brew if I used EL LME only and 1 hop variety? Thanks for the uploads too 👍
Good for beginners. I am no longer a beginner. But I would be very interested in a sequel to this video, on PARTIAL mashing. Thanks and well done.
Hey thanks Russell, have you seen this video Mike did recently? ua-cam.com/video/lHZyf6moWBE/v-deo.html
@@Geterbrewed Thank you, no I hadn´ t!

Thanks for letting us know, i do like the simplicity of LME , can’t say I’ve noticed a flavour difference tbf
Are manufacturing dates available when purchasing from geterbrewed ?
On the liquid malt extract in particular !!
Yes we can provide , drop warehouse@geterbrewed.com an email and we can trace for you
I don’t know if it was covered, are LMEs the same as used in the extract kits?
Yes the only difference is the liquid malt extract in beer kits will usually contain some isomerised hop extract also

Thanks for letting us know always great to hear how others do it
I presume that means using spraymalt in a no boil kit is fine or would it benefit from a quick stove top boil to sterilize / sanitize the DME?

It’s made from the same batch of malt so yes it could be called a SMASH
@@Geterbrewed Excellent thanks, although I think the term SMESH should be coined here now if it hasn't already 😄
Dme you lose some nutrients?
