Substitutions
|
Laaglander DME was difficult to find in Kansas City even in 2005 when I originally brewed this,
, now it is impossible anywhere, as I think it is no longer imported. I've
created this beer using Munton DME or use John Bull Marris Otter LME (which is now also no longer available !)
and 8oz Malto-Dextrin.
As you can see by all the "unavailables", it is sometimes best to choose all grain so you can consistently achieve your desired result.
For a darker ale, use 0.50 Oz of Chocolate Malt.
