SUGAR ADJUNCTS

Plain Malt Extract is simply the results of the mashing and sparging process with most of the water removed. Extract syrups contain about 15% water and remain fresh for 18 to 24 months. Dry malt extract, sometimes called DME, contain less than 3% moisture and can be properly stored for up to 4 years.

Plain extracts are available in four basic colors. Extra light, light, amber and dark. As we have learned, the color of the extract comes from the grain bill. When selecting a malt extract there are some basic rules. They are origin, color and fermentability.

The type of honey used to make mead is critical. It must be pure and unblended. Many store shelf honey's have additives ranging from corn syrup to preservatives. These will not make a drinkable mead. We know our beekeeper and trust the quality of his honey.
