Hey @Eric , just curious, how was it? Drinkable? Given that it's a fruit type beer, it might have a chance.

Thanks

I'll give it a go, let you guys know how it goes in a few weeks. Thanks for the input.

Does DME have less of an extract flavour than LME? I've transitioned to all grain brews and I really don't want to have that extract "twang" I just can't boil 7.5 gallons of liquid on my stove.

DME is supposed to be a little better quality. As far as the twang goes that's hard to say. I think the twang comes more from poor brewing practices rather than an extract. There are some people out there making amazing beers with DME, recently a friend gave me a bottle of his NEIPA made with extract and I was blown away at how good it was.

I do find bigger, maltier, etc beers hide the extract a little better. So this recipe sounds like it should do the trick.

I'd probably swap out a pound.

You could also sub out some dme for D90, to get some stone fruit and raisin character.

How much D90 do you think would be appropriate? I've never used it before.

Thanks again.

I'm really not an expert on the style. But it sounds like a little vanilla would work well with this. You could also sub out some dme for D90, to get some stone fruit and raisin character.
