  • 5.01 lbs Ultralight Extract (MoreBeer); Alexanders

    Ultralight Extract (MoreBeer); Alexanders

    By the pound. Made for MoreBeer! by Alexanders this extract is 100% made from Great Western 2-row malt. It is the lightest malt extract available. This is the malt extract that we use as a base for most of our ingredient kits, from Pilsner to Imperial Stout. It is made locally in California's Central Valley and is often only a few days old when we receive it. It never lasts longer than a few weeks in our shop, where we package it in nitrogen flushed jars. Does fresh extract make a difference... decide for yourself! We recommend customer's to store there extract in the refrigerator if they do not plan on using it after 3-4 weeks. Make sure you thaw out your extract a week before you brew. Cheers!
