I am starting to wise up to the fact that my LME brews tend to come out darker than when I use DME, but is there also a difference is the attenuation? I recently had a belgian tripel that I couldn't get past 69% with WLP530. If it has to do with the LME, I'll stick to dry from here on.
 
Extracts vary a great deal in the level of unfermentables. The worst ones seem to be liquid.
 
I've heard that as LME gets old, it loses some fermentability. not exactly sure how that works though.
