A 1kg bag of Handcraft Supplies Light Dried Malt Extract, the pale, all-round malt powder for home brewing. It adds body and clean malt flavour without darkening your beer much, so it suits lagers, pale ales, IPAs and golden ales.

Dried malt extract (DME) is malt extract with the water removed, leaving a fine powder that is easy to measure and store.

Ways to use it

  • Swap for some or all of the sugar in a beer kit for a fuller-bodied beer
  • Use as the base fermentable in extract brewing
  • Make a yeast starter
  • Top up gravity in an all-grain brew that came in low

Specifications

  • Weight: 1kg
  • Type: light dried malt extract

How to use

Dissolve in warm water, stirring it in gradually to avoid lumps, then add to your fermenter or boil.

Who it is for

Kit brewers who want better body than sugar alone gives, and extract brewers making pale styles. Also available: Handcraft Supplies Wheat Dried Malt Extract for wheat beers and Dark Dried Malt Extract for stouts. Pair it with Safale US-05 for a clean pale ale.

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

Yes. Replacing some or all of the kit sugar with light dried malt extract gives more body and malt flavour without changing the colour much.

How should I store it?

Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, as dried malt extract absorbs moisture and can clump.

Can I use it to make a yeast starter?

Yes, light dried malt extract is commonly used to make yeast starters.
