My local one does a 650gm jar. I have a loyalty card as well!!!!! Useful stuff to have around.

I've never brewed with it but it's fantastic for starters and culturing up yeast from bottle cultured beers

Weird coincidence. Bought some for the first time today after realising I've only 50g of DME and needed to make a starter for Saturday.

Ive always got a few jars in the garage, tho what one they stock from store to store varies apparently.. Its a good standby to have certainly.

How much do you use in a starter?

Sorry being lazy and not using the search - know i've seen it in another thread

I use H&B LME in extract brews, and for topping up kits. It works out slightly cheaper than the Potters brand that they sell. The trick is to watch out for their regular offers and buy it then. It also works out cheaper than Coopers and other 'homebrew' brands.
I have a sneaky feeling that it gives a better tasting beer than the LME from HBC which I have used, trial currently underway.
The only downside about using it is you end up having to store lots of jars if you use it regularly.

PS. If you want to get the last of the LME out of the jar, use hot but not boiling water to dissolve the LME. Boiling water can fracture the glass and it breaks and you get boiling water everywhere. That happened to me. :-?

I use 210g for a 2L starter - ya lazy bugger

assuming 1kg of dme is the equivelant of 1.5kg of lme sugar wise.

we know 100g of dme made upto 1l of solution should provide a liquor with 1.040-1.044 gravity

SO... i would suggest 300g of lme made upto 2l would provide the same....
If the HnB LME is similar in sugar content to brewers lme that is..

however your hydrometer should tell you..

I just assumed brewmate was correct (it may not be). I tells me 210g of LME for 2L gives a gravity of 1.039 and 210g of DME gives a gravity of 1.041. Your right a gravity ready will tell true, but I've done the above weights for both LME/DME and my starters have done what their supposed to each time

Hi!
Yes. Jars of liquid malt extract.
There are three brands: Meridian, Potter's and H&B's own brand.

Graham Wheeler's book uses the following equivalents
650g DME=750g LME= 1000g Pale Malt
