DISSOLVING MALT and other questions
Is it only me, or is dry malt a pain in the A to dissolve??
I have tried in cold, lukewarm, hot and boiling water.
I have tried adding before and after the main kit.
I have tried not stirring, gently swirling (as per the Coopers box) and lots of stirring.
I have tried slowly adding, in small batches, and all at once.
Still I end up with a sticky lump that takes forever to dissolve.
Does anyone have any tricks or tips??
And while were at it - how much of a good thing?
The Coopers Light Dry Malt box is only 500gm.
The Brewcraft Malt Extract is 1kg.
The Morgans Master Malt Extract is 1.5kg (liquid).
And just to top it off.. is there any difference between malted barley (Coopers Light Dry Malt)
AND
the Brewcraft Malt Extract??
If so, which is better and why?
Oh one more malt AND dextrose or just malt??
