It’s been many moons since I’ve brewed with LME. My current setup is sort of an oversized partial mash, but I’ve strictly stuck to DME for all the reasons most folks here suggest. But I’ve been wondering lately about doing an extract with specialty grains sort of recipe lately for old time’s sake. Ideally shooting for a bigger darker beer for winter time.
Do those of you with lots of experience with extract beers find that in darker stronger beers the LME vs DME difference is less significant? Or is it still worth it to spend a bit more on DME?
PS - Is the late-boil addition concept still relevant with darker beers or is that mostly just a color thing?
