What are Extract Beer Kits?

Extract Beer Kits are considered the next step after homebrewers have tried a beer kit, the addition of steeping grains to the brewing process and the adding of hops throughout the boiling process allows homebrewers to add a fresh malt flavour and beautiful hop profile creating impressive results. Extract brewing doesn’t require a lot of equipment and you can upgrade from kit brewing with a large stovetop pot and a copper chiller, if you haven’t got a chiller you can cool using an ice bath in your sink, basic beer kit brewing equipment is required.

What is Malt Extract?

Malt Extract Starts out in the brewhouse just like any other beer, to make malt extract the wort is transferred to evaporators after the boiling stage instead of going to the fermenter. Geterbrewed uses liquid malt extract in their extract brewing kits.

Liquid Malt Extract is simply concentrated wort and it takes a lot of work out of homebrewing, it is best described as a syrup consistency and is generally available in light, amber or dark format.
