Liquid Malt Extract (LME)
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.👍

Love to use this for sterilisation and you can use it a few times so really lasts

Easy to brew and a flavour that suits my palate. A regular for me.

I enjoy stouts and this one is a particular favorite. Full of flavour and better than anything I've been served in a pub. And it's easy to make.

This was my first attempt with a Solomon Grundy Kit and I opted for the platinum version because no additional sugar is required. I used a temperature controlled heat pad and from start to decanting the clear wine has taken 8 days. I could have done it in 7 days but I spent the extra day degassing the wine prior to adding finings. It has cleared very well and tastes really good. I intend to polish it over the next day or so before storing fot at least a month. Given the ease of brewing and the end result thus far, I'll be starting another SG kit is the near future.

Eventually started this one and it went off like a rocket initially. Took a reading yesterday and it was a bit off the recommended fg but will give it another week and check it.Smells amazing though.🤞🏻

I use this for sterilising bottles, using a zero rinse liquid, before siphoning home brew beer.

I have brewed this kit a few times and it has always produced a nice tasty ale, I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it yet!

I have brewed this kit a few times and it has always turned out to be a nice tasty ale, I would recommend it and I will certainly be brewing it again.
