Description

  • Traditional Dark has an intense, sweet and malty flavor perfect for Brown Ales, Porters, Stouts, and other malt-forward styles
  • DME can be used as 100% of your fermentable sugar in extract brewing
  • Add for color correction, boost gravity, or improve head retention in all grain brewing
  • Briess Malt & Ingredients has had a focus on quality and innovation for more than 140 years, with all of their products being made in the U.S.A.

Dried Malt Extract (DME) is the primary sugar source in extract brewing and can be used in partial-mash or all grain brewing to adjust flavor, color and gravity of brews.  DME can also be used to increase head retention and body. Many brewers choose nutrient rich DME as the sugar source for making yeast starters as well. Briess dried malt extracts are made from 100% malt and water.

Traditional Dark DME: 100% pure malt barley extract made from a blend of 100% malts and water.

Traditional Dark is an excellent dark malt extract . With an intense, sweet and malty flavor, it can be used in the production of many beer styles, either as a base, to boost gravity or for color and flavor enhancement. Contributes strong flavors to darker beer styles such as: Red ales, Brown ales, Amber ales, Oktoberfests, Bocks/Doppelbocks and can be used for color adjustments in lighter beer styles.
