Extra Light Dried Malt Extract (DME) - Yeast Starters & Gravity Booster

Extra light DME is the most useful powder in the brewery: spray-dried all-malt wort that dissolves into starter wort, tops up a gravity that came in low, or becomes a whole extract batch. 'Extra light' means the palest grade there is — it boosts gravity without shifting colour or flavour.

For yeast starters it's the standard: 100 g per litre of water gives you the 1.040 starter wort every lab recommends. For brew day, 100 g in 23 L adds roughly one gravity point — the honest fix when your efficiency missed the target.

Store it dry and sealed: DME is ferociously hygroscopic and turns to concrete in a humid cupboard.
