I was looking at the range of Weyermann extracts on Maltmillers website as I am going to need to produce a batch of beer but won't have the time for the usual all-grain brewday.
Has anyone used these extracts with good results?
I am flexible as to what type of beer I am going to make so am happy to plump for any of them except maybe the rauch.

Re: Weyermann Malt Extract
I have used the Bavarian Pilsner extract to make a Belgian dark strong before and I had no complaints, I rather liked the 4 kilo container

Re: Weyermann Malt Extract
I also used the Bavarian Pilsner. Ironically I used mine to make a mild - GW's recipe for Hop Back Mild. Used black carafa III (because that's all I can get in Switzerland). It also had Nottingham yeast if I remember. Was a lovely pint. Almost black lagerish.
Second batch was a golden ale. Was the lightest beer I'd ever been able to brew using extract but of course, was still a lot darker than anything brewed AG.
I also liked the red jerry can that it comes in. However, it was a bugger getting the last drops of extract out of it.
I didn't buy anymore after that simply because compared to other malt extracts, they are pretty expensive.

They are really good, I have used the pils one for a APA before, was a cracking beer and the hefeweizen one. They are expensive, but of very high quality

The beers I made with this were far superior to the beers I brewed with coopers malt extract

Re: Weyermann Malt Extract
Have been told they are very good, just a shame they come in such big cans for my scale of brewing...

Re: Weyermann Malt Extract
Something to bear in mind is that you might need to use more of the pilsner extract than regular LME. I found this out when playing around with Beertools where they have it listed as an extract ingredient.jimp2003 wrote:Cheers guys. The Pilsner might be the one then.
