This is something I just thought about and couldn't find a clear answer on.
The normal approach is to bring your water to a boil, remove from heat, and then add your DME. Normally this creates a lot of foam, and the steam makes the DME gum up around the packet/container.
So I thought....why not add it to the cold water and then heat that up?
I wonder what effect this would have on the foaming. Anyone know? I might try it next time.
