I'm going to be brewing something similar to the Fixed Gear clone from Northern Brewer but I'll be using Briess Golden Light DME and it will just be a 2.5 gallon batch. My question is should I put in the DME at the start of the boil or wait till the last 15 minutes so I just sanitize it?

Fixed Gear Clone

Recipe

Extract/Grains:
3.75 lbs Briess Golden Light DME
0.375 lbs Briess Caramel 60L (Steep 20m/Until 170 degrees)
0.25 lbs Belgian Special B (Steep 20m/Until 170 degrees)

Hops:
0.5 oz Columbus (60 min)
0.25 oz Chinook (20 min)
0.5 oz Cascade (5 min)
0.5 oz Centennial Type (dry hop 7 days)
0.5 oz Chinook (dry hop 7 days)

Yeast:
6g US-05
 
I will also be cracking the specialty grains with a rolling pin so if anyone has tips for doing that, please give them.
 
I love that beer and have it on my short list and would also change it to DME and buy separately like you are. Usually I just do 50/50 on the late extract addition and would probably just do that in your case. You'd get a little more hop utilization so if you don't like that then consider reducing the bittering addition
