1. What Is Dried Malt Extract (DME)?

   • DME is a concentrated form of malted barley extract.
   • It provides fermentable sugars, flavour, and body to beer.
   • Unlike liquid malt extract (LME), DME has had most of its moisture removed, resulting in a powder-like consistency.

   • Usage:
     • Improves Beer Quality: When used instead of brewing sugar, it enhances beer quality by adding richness, body, and head formation.
