I like the DME because it's easier for me to work with. Large volumes of hot liquid, making a whirlpool, and slowly pouring from the bag are my tricks. I never get clumps that way that stay together for more than a moment.

I think it's cool to watch the big wad of DME stuck to the spoon dissolveSpyk'd said:I like the DME because it's easier for me to work with.
