Harvest hopped IPA

Brewed a 2.5 gallon ipa style beer using my home grown Magnum and Centennial hops. Purchased and used the the Briess pilson DME, 05 safale, and additional flavoring hops from Northern Brewers. As usual , their purchase experience was easy, delivery was timely, and the quality of the ingredients was great. I always use Northern Brewer. Best experience. Brew came out great.

Keeps the beer lighter flavored

Good stuff. I've used Pilsen Light and Pilsen DMEs in a beers where I didn't want my pale ale to turn into something heavy. Great ingredient for summer beers.

Yeast Farmer’s Friend

The only thing I use DME for is to grow yeast. Since I make 15.5 gallon batches, I make a starter for every package of liquid yeast I buy. 100 grams (2/3 Cup) of this with 1000 ml (1 quart) of water will grow happy healthy yeast. If you are getting your DME from NB then you know its fresh and shipped quickly.

Great base for a Hazy IPA

Due to my limited space constraints, I love to substitute Pilsen DME for half of my malt bill. I recently used the Pilsen DME in a Hazy IPA. Consistent results every time. Will definitely use again in the future.

Great clean tasting beer!

Might be the best beer I have made, but I did add crystallized pink grapefruit to make it a radler, but sampled it prior to the add (and carbonation even) and the flavor was really good.

works as advertised

made good beer, but how much of the end results was due to the DME is unknown.

Sticky fingers

Maybe sticky, but essential to yeast propagation and bottle conditioning. I primed with DME for years, then I got a stir plate and began growing my yeasts. I use DME to begin the brew and I use it to finish. Add a bit of nutrient to the yeast wort and a bit of CBC-1 to the primer wort. Magic!
