[paramedic007]

I have coopers IPA HME, dextrose, 2lb liquid malt extract. Recipi calls for HME, 300g dextrose, 500g DME. Brew store did not have DME, only liquid. How much of the liquid equals the amount of DME, that is called for?

It should be 1 -1 swap.

Its not 1-1, there is a conversion rate. Stolen from an old post by Yooper:

A handy way to think of grain/DME/LME is this: 1 lb grain = .75 lb LME = .6 lb DME

“The syrups are approximately 20% water, so 4 pounds of dry malt extract (DME) is roughly equal to 5 pounds of liquid malt extract (LME)”
