Light LME (1.5 lb)

Fresh Liquid Malt • Clean Pale Flavor • Effortless Gravity Boost

Light Liquid Malt Extract (LME) is concentrated brewers wort in syrup form, prized for delivering smooth, clean malt character with zero mashing required. Made from pale base malt, it brings a soft, fresh malt flavor that many brewers find slightly rounder than dry extract.

At 36 PPG and a pale 4 °Lovibond, Light LME adds substantial fermentable gravity while keeping beer color light. Sold in a convenient 1.5 lb pack, each pack raises five gallons of wort by roughly 11 gravity points.

Flavor & Aroma Profile

• Smooth, clean malt flavor
• Soft bready sweetness
• Round, fresh wort character
• No dark or caramelized notes
• Light golden color contribution

Used as a partial addition, Light LME blends invisibly into a recipe, simply adding strength. As the foundation of an extract batch, it produces a clean pale wort that takes hops and yeast character wherever you point them.

Brewing Applications

Light LME is a staple ingredient in extract and partial-mash brewing, including:

• Pale Ale
• IPA
• Blonde Ale
• Amber Ale (with steeping grains)
• American Wheat
• Cream Ale
• Gravity Correction (any style)

It also pairs naturally with steeped specialty grains, which layer color and flavor over its clean base.

Usage Recommendations

Each 1.5 lb pack of Light LME adds about 11 points of gravity to 5 gallons — use one pack to strengthen a partial mash or several as the backbone of a full extract batch (roughly 7–8 lbs per 5 gallons for a standard-strength beer). Fewer packs keep the beer light and sessionable; more build bigger styles.

Reserve part of the extract for the last 15 minutes of the boil to keep the wort pale, and stir thoroughly off the heat so the syrup doesn't scorch on the kettle bottom.
