Liquid Malt Extract (LME) is a concentrated wort that you can use to make your own beer at home or add to other beer kits to add extra body, flavour and sugar.
The Liquid Malt Extract is made by cooking malted barley in water (mashing) for a period of time, just like they would in a brewery. This causes the starches in the grains to turn to sugar which dissolve into the water. You now have a liquid called wort. This is now reduced to remove most of the water so you are left with a treacle like, thick viscous liquid we call Liquid Malt Extract.
To use LME, you simply add water. A 1.5kg can of LME can be topped up to 11.5 litres with water to make 11.5 litres of wort, that's 20 pints. You can add hops by just dropping them in, or you can pre boil the hops in a litre of water and substitute a litre in the topping up for the litre of hopped water.
Liquid Malt Extract is made from many different malts and grain bills, so you can use LME as a base for making beer at home or mix them together to make many different styles of beer including pale ales, IPA, brown ale, mild, stout, etc, etc.
If you have a beer kit that needs 1kg of sugar, you can substitute the sugar for 1.2kg of Liquid Malt Extract. This will add extra body, flavour and colour to your finished beer.
Cans of pure liquid malt extract can be used as a 'blank canvas' for you to make your own special beers. Here you can find different types of malt extract from pale to amber to dark. You can use these with your choice of other ingredients like hops, spray malts, beer enhancers and yeasts to create your very own unique beer. These are great if you want to move away from all inclusive beer kits and start combining ingredients from your own recipe.

We have purchased this wine kit numerous times. We have always had a good quality pack of wine. Presented chilled this wine is as good as any shop wine.
Always ready to drink within a couple of weeks .

Quite simply add this .
You will have the fermenter foaming all over the floor and walls but you will have the real quality that you want .
Made fruit wines of all types for years and on some as a hobby , had a go last year base level wine kit and so so ,a bit sweet ok if you only want to get well oiled . But this added to a kit is wow for a nearly sixty year old wine drinker just try adding half the bottle to your next 30 bottle kit you will never go back.

Very good works a treat.makes the wine look professional and attractive to the coinesseur.

I made my first ever wine, blackberry wine using this bag after following David on his Youtube video, great product, less mess and easy to use. Thank you David for your help and support with my order.

Easy kit to brew. Pleasant, very refreshing apple flavour ideal for lazy summer days in the sun. Very impressed and intend to try others in this range.👍

Excellent value for money, quick and reliable service.

I have used this main times for different brews, beer and wine and have had great results and will use again.

First time brewing kit was awesome tastes great I will be buying again very easy to drink

This o ring set fits our wilko presure barrel easy order quick shipping
works well

Fermentation began quickly but remains steady during the process. I like this product.

Having just sampled my first brew of Coopers Stout I really enjoyed it.
It still needs to age some more to get to its best, but so far so good.
I fermented this with 1.5Kg Muntons Dark Malt Extract, and use Safale US-05 yeast and added Pure Brews Water treatment/Yeast Nutrient as per instructions.
It has worked well in a pressure barrel. Packed full of flavour - a really nice stout. Admittedly it is no longer the Coopers Beer Kit straight from the can, but we have all these ingredients to hand, so why not not enhance your beer to suit your tastes. Happy brewing.

Once again received my order in good condition. Will definitely order again , already steeped in gin and looking forward to the end result.
Will recommend to friends and definitely order from you again
Thanks again

I've just used these new screw on caps for threaded wine bottles, and so far I reckon they are great. Just fill the bottle with your latest creation, put the cap on top, give it a whack down and screw tight. Saves loads of time and does not leak. Definitely will use these again.

Nice and solid. Remembered to vaseline the joints before connecting.

This is the first time I have made a wine buddy kit and I must say, this is a good quality, tasty wine. I will definitely be making another very soon.
