Ingredients (Extract, 6 gal)
- 6 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!

Raisins
Dried grapes. Has a sweet prune like flavor. California discovered the commercial potential of raisins quite by accident. In 1873, a freak hot spell withered the grapes on the vine. One enterprising San Francisco grocer advertised these shriveled grapes as "Peruvian Delicacies" and the rest is history. California is now the world's leading producer of raisins.
