Does anyone prime their bottles with dme? If so does it produce any noticible flavor difference than corn sugar, and how much is generally used for a five gallon batch? thank you for a response!

I've been priming with DME for a while. No noticable difference in taste or carbonation that I've seen.

I prime with DME for both bottles and kegs.
There is a noticeable difference in mouthfeel only.
Use about 1¼ cups for a 5-gallon batch.

I also use DME for priming and i tend to see better head retention and mouthfeel seems smother. Depending on the style about 3/4 to 1 1/4 cup per five gallons.
