Briess Traditional Dark DME - Dry Malt Extract

Build rich flavor, deep color, and fuller body in dark beer styles with Briess Traditional Dark Dry Malt Extract, a versatile base designed for stouts, porters, and red ales. This malt extract delivers layered malt complexity while providing fermentable sugars that support balanced strength and mouthfeel.

Briess Traditional Dark DME is intended for brewers creating dark or malt-forward beers, whether following a recipe or building a custom formulation. It can be used as a primary fermentable or to boost gravity and color in existing recipes, offering flexibility for both extract and partial-mash brewing.

This dry malt extract is produced from a blend of base malt, Munich malt, crystal malt, and black malt, contributing fermentability alongside roasted depth and subtle caramel character. It is available in 1.25 pound packages formulated for one-gallon batches and 6.25 pound packages suitable for five-gallon brews.

For best results, dissolve the extract thoroughly during the boil to ensure even distribution and consistent fermentation. It can be used on its own or combined with specialty grains and additional fermentables to tailor body, color, and alcohol content to your target style.

Produced by Briess to established malting and extraction standards, Traditional Dark Dry Malt Extract provides dependable performance and consistent malt character for brewing bold, dark, well-structured beers.
