Dry Malt Extract

Unleash the full spectrum of brewing possibilities with Alpha Barley Co's extensive array of six distinct dry malt extract (DME) variations, tailored to elevate your homebrewing journey. Derived from the meticulous spray-drying process that removes moisture from liquid malt extract, our DME promises extended shelf life without compromising on quality. Ideal for crafting robust yeast starters, our DME selection includes Light, Pilsner, Amber, Dark, Bavarian Wheat, and Dried Rice extracts. Notably, our amber variant boasts a deeper hue owing to the incorporation of crystal malts during its manufacturing, enhancing its flavor profile. Embrace the versatility of our light-colored, pure Pilsner DME, perfect for various lagers and imparting a distinctive essence to select ales. For aficionados of wheat beers, our Bavarian Wheat DME, comprising 65% wheat and 35% barley, stands as the quintessential choice, ensuring an authentic and rich brewing experience. Elevate your craft and explore the unparalleled diversity and quality found at Alpha Barley Co!

Note that dry malt extract will differ from liquid malt extract in its sugar content when diluted weight for weight:

  • 1 pound of dried malt extract dissolved in one gallon of water = 1.045 SG
  • 1 pound of liquid malt extract dissolved in one gallon of water = 1.035 SG
  • For reference: 10 pounds grain to create 6 gallons wort, boiled to 5 gallons = 1.050 SG (assuming a 70% efficiency)
