Frequently asked questions about Mangrove Jack's liquid malt extract

Why use malt extract instead of sugar?

Plain sugar adds alcohol but no body and can make the beer thin and hot. Malt extract also adds mouthfeel and better foam.

How do I correct a low OG with malt extract?

Add malt extract to the wort and boil for 10–15 minutes. At 1 kg per 10 litres the gravity rises by about 30 points (1.030).

Can I make a yeast starter with liquid malt extract?

Yes. 130 g per litre of water gives a gravity of about 1.038, which suits a yeast starter. Boil and cool before adding the yeast.

Is the malt extract gluten free?

No. Mangrove Jack's malt extract contains gluten.
