I normally buy barley malt extract by the jar (for starters and yeast growth etc) from the hippy health food shop at the bottom of George's st, but they had none the other day. Any ideas for city centre?

Ciderhead

how much is that?
I use LME powder from HB shops

richieh

can't remember offhand, it's probably 3 or 4 e for a jar, like a 440g jar or whatever a normal sized jar is. I only use extract for starting slants, or for making slants, etc. I find that 1 dessert spoon to 200ml makes a wort in and around 1.040

There's a hippy shop in the arcade on Henry street that sells all that stuff. There's also one on Wicklow street I think.
Every little helps

Most health food shops sell it.

What about Holland& Barrett in Ilac centre?
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

I usually get my jars of that stuff from holland and barrett.

Barley Malt extract and LME are the same thing just one is powder and one is liquid.
