got an order in too. thanks op!
Just wanting to vouch for Homebrew Ohio. They have a HUGE store in Sandusky, OH and they are the ones who sold me my first homebrew kit that got my addiciton started. Thanks for posting. This is an incredible price.
Ordered yesterday morning just received it today. Great, fast shipping.
You must live in those eastern lands. I ordered Friday, FedEx says I'll get it Thursday.
This is a very good idea that I will copy.Mine came today. If I understand the date code correctly it was packaged in April of 2018. There are no clumps, it looks good. They also sent a free shipping code for my next order.
I just checked the website and this deal is still available. I might just buy 5 more with the free shipping code.

The code is "SHIPIT"
They wouldn't let me use the free shipping code with the on sale dme.
I bought what I think I would use within a year. I'm considering buying another year's worth. How long does DME keep if it stays sealed in a dry spot? If it was packaged 4/2018 does that subtract from its shelf life?
DME is pretty shelf-hardy if kept cool & dry.
If you walk by and knock a bag onto the basement floor, and it bursts, while carrying furniture around, inebriated, it won't do itself, the floor, you or your relationship with anyone else in the house any favors.
HOW can I "Like" this more than once... like, say... 100 times?DME is pretty shelf-hardy if kept cool & dry.

DME (dry malt extract): Store in a cool, dry location. Unopened bags best if used within 24 months from date of manufacture. Product is hygroscopic. Storing opened bags is not recommended.
...Personally, on those rare occasions when I've have DME that's 15 months old, I use it up within the month (the beer came out fine, thanks for asking). So beyond about 18 months, I have no personal experiences to share.
Seeing that I will be using the DME for yeast starters only, I suspect the age of it may not be as critical. Maybe I'm missing something....
