@isherccc I think the medium MDE would be fine for a simple, drinkable beer, it was malty enough. You could steep some speciality grains for more complexity, or keep it simple and go more to town on the late hops.
Hi there. Watching this, I was quite surprised to see that the medium dme actually gives quite a nice, dark colour. Is the flavour good enough to warrant using it on its own in a 5litre batch? I was thinking possibly 400g of the stuff with some goldings in a demijohn (excluding the ginger) to form a fairly basic mild recipe. I'm in the US at the moment, but I;ll definately give this a go at some point when I get back to the UK. Cheers!
@joealanouf The keg? I wouldn't say inexpensive. They seem to be getting more expensive at the moment. Reconditioned ones seem to be going for about £50. You could fit an S30 valve to use the small cylinders or get a regulator and find a supplier for a "pub gas" CO2 cylinder. Once you have this set up, it's very easy the use.
