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.

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 product , delivered safely and promptly
My second time of ordering. Over Christmas, brewbitz were also extremely helpful when I had a change of shipping address.
Really top rate product. The neck hole is the correct size for rubber bungs, Nylon fermentation bungs & Safety Bungs, unlike that which others are selling.
I had run out of camden tablets, the fresh supply halted any residual fermentation prior to bottling, Banana Wine clears without any intervention,I reccomend it.
A really good bit of kit, saves a lot of time & hassle filling your bottles. Once you do a few adjustments your good to go. It is also well made. All in all a really good addition to your brewing set up
Great tasting wine with easy to follow instructions
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant can’t fault there website , delivery service, 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I looked everywhere for this size washer to fit the taps on my fermentor - delivered fast and as described :-)
the family love it, getting more visits than usual.lol
Needed to boost my white wine stock so I tried this kit. Easy to make but did take a couple of days longer to complete fermentation than specified. Having said that, it's December and the fermentation room is cool. Whilst I used a heater pad with temperature control, I think the fermentation conditions were not perfect. Hence the extra day or two. The bulk of the brew is waiting polishing but I did run a sample through a gravity filter for tasting. Very pleased with the result even though it has had no time to mature :-)
A very good kit supplied by a very reliable supplier
, it's a great favourite of all of my friends when we have a get together.
