Oldbloke Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I mainly do kit and bits. Mostly just add 500g of dried malt extract. Light or dark depending on the style. Always get great beer. But I noticed sometimes you can get dried wheat malt extract pretty cheap. Who has tried the dried wheat malt extract and what was the result. Is the difference very noticeable?

I have used Coopers Wheat Malt Extract many times; it is great for creating a softer mouth feel & awesome in aiding head retention. There are a few varieties Amber/Light/Dark etc depending on what you are brewing. It does add slightly to the cost as opposed to LDME or LME but worth it for the result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always great results. The Coopers wheat malt extract is a winner for mouthfeel and head retention, at least to my mind.

Tone boy Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Yes OB I always have some on hand. I use it in my summer ale (think pacific ale style). It does give the beer a hazy or cloudy appearance, and a good head. Slightly different flavour which goes well with that beer style. I’m not very good at describing flavours though I also use it in my stout, along with partial mashed grains and that is luxurious. Worth a try if you like pale ales and hops. Chuck 500g in your next pale ale with some galaxy and motueka hops. I don’t think you’ll regret it. Cheers mate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
