That's what we thought too but we made a few recipes from that book and they turned out great, though we never tried wheat DME before

Thanks for bearing with me. We used wheat DME for priming. We bought all the ingredients at a LHBS which I know and trust. Fermenting temp might have been a bit high as we don't have a consecrated fermentation room (we live in an apartment and are both still pretty new to homebrewing), but I...
