Ways to use it

  • Replace some or all of the sugar in a dark beer kit for more body and malt character
  • Build the base of an extract brew for darker styles
  • Darken and enrich a beer that needs more depth

How to use

Dissolve in warm water before adding to your fermenter or boil - stir it into the water gradually to avoid lumps.

Who it is for

Kit brewers who want a fuller, darker beer and extract brewers making stouts and porters. For lighter styles see Handcraft Supplies Light Dried Malt Extract or the Medium version, and browse all our malt extract.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it instead of sugar in a beer kit?

Yes. Many brewers swap some or all of the kit sugar for dried malt extract to get more body and malt flavour. The dark version suits stouts, porters and other dark beers.

How should I store it?

Keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Dried malt extract absorbs moisture from the air and can go sticky or clump.

Will it darken my beer?

Yes, dark malt extract adds colour as well as flavour, so it is best for darker beer styles.
