DME instead of dextrose

[dispater]

Hey Im going to make a beer kit and use Dry Malt Extract instead of the dextrose. My question is should I replace the full 1kg of dextrose with 1kg of DME or do half and half?

There's a calculator on this site that should help: http://www.tastybrew.com/calculators/priming.html

Dme will create a sweeter beer with more body whereas sugar will be drier and thinner. You could consider some speciality malt if you want more flavour

Generally speaking I like to substitute a little sugar in place of extract if it's an all extract recipe. Extract beers tend to finish a little high so the sugar will help it dry out. I would say 250-400g of dextrose/sugar and the remaining can be DME. You can go half and half if you want a tad drier.
