First time using a liquid yeast and wondering about the type of DME used in starters. I'm making a gingerbread brown ale and have enough Bavarian wheat DME to make a starter. Is it okay to use the wheat DME for the brown ale recipe? Or get a new DME that matches the malt in the recipe for the starter? Thanks!
 
That should be just fine, typically most will light DME to minimize flavor impact. This is also why many cold crash and decant before pitching.
