Adding 500g medium DME today, should it be dissolved in water first?

I would probably dissolve it in a litre or so of water, give it a bit of a boil to ensure there are no nasties (and clarify it a bit) then tip it in...
Primary : AG138 Amarillo Pale Ale
Conditioning : AG137 Mosaic Pale Ale
Drinking: AG131 London Bitter, AG132 Yorkshire Bitter, AG133 Guinnish, AG134 Witbier, AG135 Challenger Pale Ale, AG136 Kveik IPA,

Thanks for hosting the brew-a-thon Jim.
I enjoyed it and brewed a beer I wasn't planning to make, which at this stage, smells great.

I hope we can all post the results when the beer is ready.
