Just wondering if it's a good thing to do to buy a 55 lb bag of extra light malt extract from NB.
For a single pound, it's $5.25. For 3 lbs, $11.99 ($4/lb) and for 55 lb $145 ($2.65/lb, excluding the extra shipping which I don't know). This savings really adds up, as DME is the most expensive part of my brewing.
I will always be using specialty grains, so I guess my question is, is the Munton's Extra Light DME versatile in the sense that I can buy a huge bag of it and brew most of my beer with it (I mean a wide spectrum of conceivable beer styles, with the obvious exception of wheat and special styles)? I have no problem storing it or using it, so long as it's good for lots of beer styles.
Hope it's not too n00bish of a question, but my money tree doesn't grow well in my apartment and DME aint cheap.
