Using old dme for starters

[gotbags-10]

I have some 2 year old dme. Don't want to use it in beer but could it be used for starters?

Personally, I would and wouldn't think twice about it.

Sugar is sugar... I keep my DME in the freezer and a bag usually lasts a few months (only used for starters). Either way, it's not going to break down into something useless. You are good to go

DME is much more tolerant of long storage times than LME is, though I've got some of the latter I'm going to use very soon.

Yup, should be great for a starter. Not sure I'd use it as a the primary sugar in a beer, though.
