Hi All
First time poster, long time reader!
Apologies if this topic is covered elsewhere, I did a bit of reading around the place, but couldn't find a definitive answer.
I'm just starting to get into 'Kits & Bits' brewing, the next logical step in the climb towards AG, and was wondering whether there is any difference between using dry and liquid malt extracts? Apart from the fact that 1kg dry malt is equivalent to 1.5kg of liquid. There seems to be quite a price difference with the dry malt being almost half the price of the liquid.
I'm planning on making up a batch this Saturday using a Coopers Pale Ale kit, cascade hops, crystal malt and a re-cultured Coopers Pale Ale yeast and was wondering what malt to use.
Thank you for reading.
