I have several Beer Machine mixes left over from before I "really" got into brewing. These mixes are pre-hopped and dry, and make 2.5 gallons (just add water! ) Since they don't even make a full 5 gallons I don't even want to bother with using them (I have around 5 kits and no two match).
Could I use some of this extract to make starters? Or is this stuff something altogether different from DME? If its all the same it'd be a good way to use them (and make my girlfriend feel better about buying them for me as they sit unused). On the other hand, DME for a starter is cheap enough that if it is going to "taint" my beer in any way then its just not worth it.
