So I absolutely love geeking out and doing things the tough way just for the love of it. But every now and then I just really REALLY want to get a result as easily as possible, I am sure you feel the same! Thats where Liquid Malt Extract (LME) comes in to play. What is LME? Well, basically some kick-ass brewer has already made a killer all grain mash for you. Seeing as it would be impractical to ship the whole thing it is reduced down to a thick gooey liquid the consistency of molasses. To make a wash from it all you need to do is mix it with water, hit your volume and temperature then pitch yeast. While this is really simple I have a few tips and tricks that will make it a little faster and easier for you. Once it is fermented out as dry as it will go I suggest distilling it with a pop still before making cuts and ageing it on oak. The Recipe I used here: 3x 1.8kg Amber Malt Liquid Malt Extract 2x US-05 yeast 25 l of water Pot still and cut by flavour then age with US
