Dry Malt Extract (DME) is light/pilsner/golden/base color and character.

Why we love it:

  • "I like dissolvable powder especially when I don't get it on me!!"
  • Partial mash/extract brewing
  • Gravity booster - brew big beers with the same volume
  • Messed-up-mash problem solver (fix your gravity due to poor conversion)
  • Yeast starters
  • Makes brewing while camping approachable? (to each their own)

Storage note:

DME is hygroscopic. It's ok, go ahead and Google that word. Leave the bag open, particularly with decent humidity, and DME quickly becomes BME (brick malt extract) - the powder hardens. Keep it sealed tight in a cool, dry spot. Once you open a bag, portion what you need into smaller containers or vacuum-seal the rest. Old or poorly stored DME is where you get the stale, "homebrew" flavors. Please keep any leftover DME dry and cool.

Malt details:

-No spec sheet. Typical DME extract yield. Light color.
