When do you add the DME for an extract brew:
During the boil?

You boil the water and instead of adding sugar, you add DME and boil. Then, add that solution to your bottling bucket and siphon your beer into it. It takes a bit longer to carbonate than with sugar, maybe an extra week or so.

There was LME and DME in the kit, so I added the DME at the same time as the LME. I hope I didn't screw it up... I hope the DME wasn't for bottling, or is that not going to matter much?
