Dried Malt Extracts

Grape and Granary offers a variety of dried malt extracts to help you achieve your perfect brew. We offer both Munton's Dried Malt Extract and Briess Dried Malt Extract.

Dry Malt Extract (DME) is a great way to add additional body and flavor to a home brewed beer and avoid dry, thin or cidery flavors. Using dried Malt Extract in place of corn or table sugar also helps to increase beer head retention and body. It can also be used to adjust the color of your beer and is available in both Barley and Wheat.

Additionally, it is common for brewers to use dried malt extract to make yeast starters.

Briess Dry Malt Extracts are made in Wisconsin at a state of the art 500 barrel brewing facility. Briess has been creating malt extracts since 1876 and is one of the preeminent names in the brewing world. Munton's Dry Malt Extracts are made in the U.K. and produce some of the worlds finest malts.
