Am I right in thinking that the end result of using either of these products to base your malt flavour on in an extract brew would be the same?
Eg I want to do a 5gal pale ale batch. Do I use 2 1.5Kg tins of Pale LME, or 2.8Kg DME light, or a combination of the 2?
What are the advantages of each? eg xx is cheaper, you can get a slight off-taste with xx, xx will give more flavour. I know you can also add steepable grains for further improvement - but I want to concentrate on the virtues of LME and DME for now.
Your wisdom is gratefully apreciated :
