I'm new here, so I'm not sure... but can someone please confirm that the above quoted second post in this thread is actually backwards? Don't want noobs messing up their brews. You need more LME because of the water in it, not less... right?

Well, I've been drinking, but I read him to also say you need 20% more LME to equal the same amount of fermentables as in the same weight as DME, which is contradictory to the first part of the statement.

Always remember that you need more LME by weight than DME because the LME has some water in it. DME is spray dried malt extract, with the water removed.

So, DME(1.25)= amount of LME, and LME/(1.25)= amount of DME?
