Light Dried Malt Extract (LDME) is wort from which nearly all moisture has been removed. The production process of LDME is very similar to that of instant coffee, whereby the hot wort is sprayed through an atomizer into a heated chamber. Blowers create vigorous air currents within the chamber. As a result of this turbulence, the wort droplets remain suspended, dry out, and eventually settle to the floor of the chamber. LDME, unlike Liquid Malt Extract (LME), is never hop flavoured because the hop compounds would not survive the drying process. To make beer wort from LDME, the powdered extract simply needs to be mixed with water to rehydrate it. The ratio of LDME to water depends on the desired wort gravity. Once reconstituted, the LDME solution can be boiled, hopped, cooled, and fermented like regular wort. Some other added benefits of LDME include adding body & ‘mouthfeel’, malt flavour & head retention to Kit beers. It’s very easy to measure out & dissolves readily in warm water. Stored correctly it also has a long shelf life.

I usually add 0.5-1kg per brew so this is a perfect size for a semi regular home brewer. Value and service top notch as always, thanks Kev!
