I've tried the Vienna one. tho it was very expensive compared to your usual kits (about $40 and unhopped)a guy handed it to me and i couldn't pick it from an AG :blink:

I have tried a Pilsner and Octoberfest that contained Weyermann liquid malts, not sure if they are the ones you are talking about.

I thought they had a bit too much "extract" character (stale?)

I have not seen any Weyermann brand kits, but would love to try them.

was it runnier than a can of goo?
like between a fresh wort kit and a can?

i saw it come in a 4L Red (sauce looking) container. but only tried the end product.

i wonder if Coopers will ever change their can range for larger <- that means bigger! fancy kits?

since they are aimed at the supermarket brewer i doubt it, hell they still bottle condition their beers

hi,
they are marketed by" drink art", and produced by a double decoction mash of weyermann malts.

Check the label, because if they're the ones I'm thinking of (listed on the Weyermann website) they are just unhopped extract (produced using a double decoction mash).

hi, these are hopped kits and 1 kg of sugar is recommended to be added to the 1.9 kg kit for 23 l of beer.

Alan,

Those are the ones I tried, the 4kg jobs Kook refers to are unmalted extract sold by Weyermann.

I spoke to David Cryer of Cryer Malts about the LME and he commented they had brought a pallet in (I canot recall how long ago) but there was not much interest at the time and he did not think he would do it again. That was what started me on AG



Cheers

I tried to get some interest in these a year or so ago. From memory they were about the price as a "top-shelf" can. About $25 for 2.5 kilo can

cheers
