So here’s photos of LME when I opened the can Pilsner LME, wort mixed fully diluted before returning to boil then wort color in fermenter after being chilled to 70 something degrees.
Boil time and everything else i followed based on recipe instructions. I returned to boil slowly not at high heat mixing constantly, no settling on bottom returned to boil only after fully diluted.
I”ll try DME only next time and see where I get
