Can I make malted milkshakes directly, or must I boiled it first?

Thank you for your inquiry. The dry malt extract is not the exact same as the malt powder for milkshakes.

Answers vary on if this needs to be boiled. Will it work for homemade hot chocolate mix (Ovaltine) and would light, dark or amber be better for this?

Thanks for asking. If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you must boil this to be safe for consumption. You do not have to boil this for the sake of food safety. However, if it has not been stored well or if have any concern about it, you can certainly do so. You can definitely use it to in other drink recipes as a powdered ingredient and any variety would offer great results. Use light malt extract to achieve the flavors found in a malted milk. The darker varieties contain some roasted barley which will add some bitterness and pair well with chocolate and coffee. The powder does not last well in the pantry because it absorbs moisture quickly. Keep partial bags in air-tight containers in the freezer. Thanks!

I want to make cake yeast with this. How much water do I need to add to properly ferment the malt?

A good wort for a starter to grow the yeast is 1.040 or 1lb per gallon of extract.

Sorry, i make mead mostly so i have no experience with malts. do i just add dme straight to my must/mash/honeywater? or must you boil it?

you have to boil it, i usually boil it an hour and hopped in along the way. i add the honey the last ten minutes, then cool and ferment. i have also done them unhopped same way bool 60 minutes and add the honey in the last ten minutes and its also good just i love hopped a lot more.

Excellent for yeast starters

Used 1/2 cup of DME in 1 L of water. Combined the two in an erlenmeyer pyrex borosilicate flask along with a stirrer and swirled to mix. The DME is very sticky when in contact with water. Then heated slowly to boil in flask on gas burner. Watched carefully for boil overs and closely monitored heat. After it began to boil, turned heat to very low and mixed with spoon frequently and boiled for 10 minutes. Then sterilized aluminum foil with flame from burner and covered flask. Allowed to cool in fridge on oven mit to prevent cracking of flask. Once slightly hot to touch finished cooling in sink to approximately room temperature. Collected yeast by pouring 2 bottles of Bells Oberon that had settled in fridge for a few days and swirling to resuspend yeast in bottom of bottle. Bells beer is unfiltered allowing collection of yeast, they also have some great home-brew and collection tips on their website. Then inoculated culture and mixed on stir plate for about 2-3 days until cloudy. Then during 5 gallon brew day allowed yeast to settle and poured off liquid (prevents off flavors, you can drink some of the DME to see what it tastes like after yeast culture). Then resuspended in wort and added to carboy. Fermentation was vigorous within 24 hours.

Great for making blonde and pale ales.

Great product at an affordable price. Add some steeping grains and hops to make delicious beer. I like DME over LME for its stability during storage. Also, when adding DME to boiling water there is less chance of it scorching.
