This is me at the Muntons Malt factory checking your malt. It's the best we can get!

Liquid ,Spray Dried Powder Malt Extract and Sugars

You can substitute this stuff for sugar. There is a bit of a difference in alcohol produced but not enough to worry about too much. A lot of homebrew "experts" scoff at the use of malt extract. We've been using it for over 30 years and we see it in commercial mico breweries so we know it's well liked by everyone else!

The spray dried has a different flavour to the liquid. It's lighter and more malty. A mix of liquid and dried is probably best but it's hard to pack the dried malt in a kit so you have to add it yourself!

The liquid is the best all purpose malt if you're making up recipes. As a rough guide you need about 1.5 to 1.8kg for a basic beer and up to 3kg for a full bodied one.

You need about 3kg in total malt and sugars for a 4.5% beer. That's usually enough!

Malt Extracts Liquid Liquid extract. The same stuff they make the beer kits from. Once opened you should use it all at once. If it gets damp or a you spill a drop of water in it expect it to start fermenting. So, if you want to keep some, make sure it's dry and sealed and it does keep ok.

Sugars, glucose, beer enhancer, carbonation drops

23 Kg Muntons Century Malt Extract Liquid Diastatic 23kg

One of the few diastatic malt extracts left.It's useful in some brewing applications where grains are used. Diastase occurs naturally in some malted grain but is missing in others. Due to its specialist nature we don't carry any stock so delivery may be a few weeks on this item, if at all. We'll give you an estimated delivery time when you order.

1.5 Kg EDME Diastatic malt Extract

1.5 kg tin of diastatic malt extract-All malt was diastatic once, nowadays it's mostly not. Doesn't matter for most uses but it can be important.

So, what's diastatic? It's got the enzyme diastase in it. Diastase breaks down starch into fermentable sugars. It helps if you're making beer with malt extract and adding grain. It will break down the starch in stuff like maize or rice. In the old days we used to add it to grain brews to make sure we got a good extraction but the grain is so good these days that you don't need it. Also you do need to boil it or it doesn't clear very well, so it fell out of favour for a while... Anyway , it's back.
