    Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
    MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

        lacking head

        Been brewing about 15 years now. Been to Oktoberfest twice. I love a great Dunkel. While the flavor was good (a little too sweet maybe for me), there was little to no head, which made me resort to some pretty drastic pouring techniques to generate said head. Neighbors loved the beer and when you serve this in a plastic cup, no one will even miss that big wheaty, frothy head anyway. I'd consider adding more crystal or carastan to improve the head for future.

        Pretty good beer kit

        I really liked this kit. Went with the LME option. I did add 8oz. DME and 8oz. brown sugar to bump it up to about 6.1%. Partial boil, 70% late malt addition and used Munich Classic yeast @ 68* to 70*. Turned out 100% great. Next time, and there will be a next time, I will try to ferment @72* to try to get a little more Banana flavor out of it unless it's cool enough to ship Wyeast 3068..maybe not. More Beer should add Munich Classic to the drop down list of yeasts, it's a great option, IMO. Keep up the great kits MB !!

        Excellent Dunkel

        This was the first Dunkel I’ve done and it came out amazing! The flavors are so good and very smooth. I’d recommend this to anyone

        easy drinking dark wheat beer

        Nothing too complex here just an easy drinking German wheat beer that goes down smooth.

        Wow! Reminds me of Bavaria

        Wow! The WL liquid yeast was slow to get started but once it kicked off I was so glad I used a blow off tube. This is the best kit yet that I have purchased from MoreBeer. Beats American pale ale, Hefeweizen, Belgian. Going to start a second batch now.

        A great kit!

        Nice malty kick with that familiar wheat beer taste. This kit is well balanced and expertly put together. I've ordered lots of kits from MoreBeer and never hated any of them.. this one though gets top marks from me, borderline perfect! Will be brewing this one again.

        Great Dark Wheat

        This was my second homebrew, and first grain-steeping. It was easy and turned out great, but I would caution the homebrewer of one thing: Use a hefeweizen-specific yeast. I used the included dry Safbrew T58 yeast, which worked fine but didn't express almost any banana-clove character, which I wanted even in a dunkelweizen. It was dark and malty and yeasty; a great beer, so I wouldn't call it a complaint, but I love my wheat beers to be big banana-clove nose bombs.I've determined that I need to make another batch of this beer using White Labs WLP300 Hefeweizen Ale yeast, which is perhaps the perfect Bavarian wheat beer yeast.
