Just a quick question about different brands of DME....specifecly, M&F and Briess. My LHBS tells me there is a difference between the two. They say M&F has more fermentable sugars than Briess. Is this correct? If so, How much? I would think 3 lbs of DME should equal 3 lbs of DME. I have a choice between brewing with M&F Ex-Light DME, and Briess Golden Light DME. If I brew with 6 lbs of Briess, is it equivelant to 5 lbs of M&F?? Or is the conversion not that drastic? It's definetly cheaper, so I'd think there'd be some merit to this statement. This will be a APA PM recipe with 3.5 lbs of grain(@155 for 45 min., sparged w/ 170 water) and 5-6 lbs DME. Going for something in the 6.5% range.
