Hi y'all, I have a question about LDM.
The helpful guys at Grain & Grape did print out a recipe but it has been misplaced.
Question is, if I am using LDM do I delete 1 gram of dextrose for every gram of LDM because this replaces the fermentable dextrose? Will this give me roughly the same alcohol content?
I think the recipe went something like this (23 litre brew):
1 can Coopers Pale Ale
50 gm Cascade hops
8 gm POR (yes I like a bit of bitterness)
500 gm LDM
500 gm dextrose
Safale US 05 yeast
The can of goo was a clearance job at Coles from when they dropped their homebrew products (pricks!)
I did read somewhere that LDM is not completely fermentable and I don't want to end up with a 'light' beer. Of course I don't want to chuck in a whole kg of dex to be on the safe side because I don't want to end up too spastic either....
No doubt I could find the answer if I hunted around but a time constraint (or laziness?) prevails. Of course people here are more than happy to share their opinions, so really I am providing them an outlet!
May I add that every brew I have created since I started using hops, dex and better yeasts has been 10,000% better than the K&Ks I was doing for years. I have added a small amount of POR to every brew as well as Hallertau, Cascade etc. which causes some people to screw up their faces and not ask for another one (drinkers of commercial Blonde and Draught etc) but that leaves more for me...
Thanks for any help that may be forthcoming.
