Extra Dark Dried Malt Extract (DME) is a fantastic ingredient for homebrewing, especially if you’re aiming for rich, robust flavours. 
What Is Extra Dark Dried Malt Extract?
It’s a concentrated form of malted barley extract, similar to regular DME but with a deeper colour and more intense flavour.
Colour: This particular Extra Dark variant falls within the range of 70-120 EBC (European Brewing Convention colour units).
Protein Content: It contains approximately 7.5% protein.
pH Level: The pH is around 5.6.
Usage:
Stout and Porter Brewing: Extra Dark DME is an essential addition to any stout beer kit or recipe. It enhances the dry bitterness, adds body, and deepens the colour of your beer.
Rich Malt Flavour: When used in brewing, it contributes an extra rich malt flavour that complements dark beer styles.
Improves Beer Quality: By replacing part of the brewing sugar with Extra Dark DME, you’ll achieve beers that are less dry, have more richness, and exhibit improved head formation and retention.
Substitution Ratio: You can replace 50% of the sugar in your recipe with Extra Dark DME (e.g., use 500g sugar and 500g DME when a kit requires 1kg of sugar).
If you’re brewing a stout or want to experiment with darker beer styles, this DME is a great choice!
