Is this the same? Malt extract question!
    #27124286 - 01/03/21 04:30 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

I ordered light malt dry extract (see image) and they sent me something labeled organic malt dry extract (see image)

Are these the same?

I made LC following the recommended malt to water ratio sterilizing for 40 min. After sterilizing the solution there seemed to be a bunch of small fiberglass particles in there. The only other thing in the jar was a new stir bar I just got. Does anyone know what this fiberglass looking stuff is?

I've successfully made plenty of honey LC before and this is my first go at malt. All three jars (made from different strains and different syringes) had contaminated with dark brown sediment. I used a 1/3rd of each syringe on the LC and the other 2/3's on two jars per syringe. All the grain jars have healthy myc in them.

I use a SAB and have pretty good sterile technique. I've been successful many times before using honey.

Does anyone have any insight if I received the correct malt and what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks!

It’s the same stuff.

Malt extract will precipitate when boiled. It’s proteins that denature as it boils, aggregates, and falls to the bottom of the vessel. When I use malt for LC or agar, I boil and filter, or boil and decant off the precipitate before putting in the PC. That’s all I can think might be in your LC. Pics would help.

Roscoe - I've made another batch and did a good boil first with a double filter. It looks much clearer this time and no fiber glass looking particles. Time will tell if we are successful. I'm going to knock them up later tonight and should have some results in the next few days. Thanks for the input!
