Unhopped Extract

Unhopped malt extract gives brewers control over the hop variety, bitterness and aroma added to a recipe. Choose the extract colour and grain type to suit the intended beer, then supply the appropriate hops and yeast separately.

Choosing an unhopped malt extract

• Light beers: Compare Black Rock Unhopped Ultra Light with Brick Road Extra Light Malt.
• Amber beers: Mangrove Jack’s Amber Liquid Malt Extract provides a deeper malt and colour contribution.
• Dark beers: Black Rock Unhopped Dark suits compatible porter, stout and dark ale recipes.
• Wheat recipes: Mangrove Jack’s Wheat Liquid Malt Extract provides a wheat-based option.

Because these extracts are unhopped, use a proven schedule from our beer hops range and select a suitable yeast. Check the extract weight, expected batch volume and whether any additional fermentable is required.
