Liquid Light Malt Extract Proportion
    #7395670 - 09/11/07 10:00 AM (16 years, 6 months ago)

I bought Light Malt Extract in a liquid form, since it was much cheaper than the dry form. It's thickness is similar to a thick syrup/molasses. Should I use approximately the same proportion to water for liquid culture? (5 to 10 grams per cup of water)

I plan on using it with dextrose.

I would find out the ratio of the malt extract to water recommended for normal use and then compare the amount of malt (dry) to water for the same effect. This can be accomplished by calling your local brew store. The amount of amount in a liquid extract is probably going to be much higher than dry content.

The only thing I don't like about using liquid extracts is storage and sterility. Once you open that bag it's the same thing as opening a sterilized jar of liquid substrate. I can definitely see contaminates entering the bag once you expose it to open air.

Agreed.
The dry stuff is the stickiest, angriest powder I've ever had in my house. A bag of liquid malt extract is going be like having hot tar loose in your kitchen. I'm sure brewers just dump the whole bag in- but you want a tablespoon or so.

But dextrose and malt extract makes some ass-kicking LC.
I use 2% dextrose, and a tablespoon of ME to 10 ounces of that.
