    Commercial bottles with labels that come off easily ~

    I use mostly Sam Adams, but have also used Deschutes and even Goose Island bottles. All came off very easily.

    floating "grains" of yeast

    I have this problems with some strains of yeast. If it is just a few yeast rafts floating on top i usually just try to avoid them with the siphon. if it is covering alot of the surface, put up a pic and i am sure you can get better advice. I am newer to this as well.

    Over carbonated bottles.

    i had inconsistent carbonation a couple times, then i read somewhere on here to have a sanitized mixing spoon or just use your siphon to GENTLY stir the beer in your bottling bucket to evenly distribute the new sugar. Also do you make a whirlpool type motion when racking to your bottling bucket...

    Why LME vs DME?

    I prefer DME for lighter color beers since I seem to never be able to keep it light using LME, although as others have stated you can only get certain types of extract in LME form such as MO or Rye. Both are great in my experience.
