G'day,
To make partial amends for recent un-named misdeeds, and to get some vital info, I am starting a new topic.
U see, for the last cuppla years in Newcastle I have seen supplies of Muntons DME dry up. As I still make a few, if I may say so...classy DME-based beers, this irregular supply can slow my brewing activities.
I am certainly making a few ag beers, and the percentage of total brews is increasing, but DME is still handy for the house beers. It's quicker, and great when U wanna show a newbie some beer-making that won't intimidate them too much. Let's not debate ag vs extract brewing here, as it is a moot argument.
Anyway, has anyone encountered this issue B4?
BTW, I usually buy 25kg boxes of Muntons light spraymalt and wheat spraymalt, and find them to be quite excellent. No affiliation, but I'd consider a sponsorship (hahaha). The wheat DME makes a fair Schneider or Shofferhofer weizen. I'm testing a DME-based partial mash Dunkelweizen soon (as soon as it's carbonated).
What say you? Surely there are some brewers who supplement their grain bill with DME. I don't think I could cope with being the only DME brewer on this forum.
Can anyone clue me in on why the supply is sporadic, or if it isn't?
I understand that freight has issues, but is that the only cause?
I appreciate any (relevant) feedback or input.
Go!
