DME vs. LME

(1/3) > >>

DME lasts longer than LME. LME can darken over time. Is there any pro to using LME over DME? Just a question that came to my mind while messing around in beersmith

LME is cheaper. I'd buy DME every time if it wasn't more expensive than LME.

At my local store LME is more expensive

At mine the DME is twice the price.

Anyway, DME tends to be more fermentable than LME. And it keeps better. Both LME and DME have their handling characteristics. Right now due to the price and the extreme freshness of the LME I'm willing to use that over the DME.
