Plain Malt Extract is simply the
results of the mashing and sparging process with most of the water removed.
Extract syrups contain about 15% water and remain fresh for 18 to 24 months.
Dry malt extract, sometimes called DME, contain less than 3% moisture and
can be properly stored for up to 4 years.
Plain extracts are available in
four basic colors. Extra light, light, amber and dark. As we
have learned, the color of the extract comes from the grain bill.
When selecting a malt extract there are some basic rules. They are
origin, color and fermentability.
