Mr beer suggets you 2 week ferment 2 week carb and 2 week condition .The 2 week carb is normally for table or corn sugar but if I prime with dme how long should I let it carb?
 
*1 4 weeks primary, skip the secondary and 3+ weeks bottle condition would be better. Patience is a B*tch.
 
Pretty much all of my brews ferm for a month.. gives everything time to settle out and the yeast time to clean up after itself.. 2-3 weeks to carb depending on the gravity of the beer.. and I'm usually pretty happy with 24hrs in the fridge..but yes, patience is a *****.
 
It may take slightly longer, but for the most part I would say no. If the first one you open isnt carbed, give them a few more days at room temp.

Do you mix DME as you would corn sugar? About a cup of water and boil? What about the measurement of DME vs corn sugar?
