The Benefits of Malt Extracts
We like to call our superior quality,CBW® malt extracts "Brewer's Assistants" because of all the things they can do for you.
First, because they are 100% pure malt extract they help preserve the "all malt" character of your handcrafted brew. Used alone or in combination with specialty malts, they also make great award-winning extract beers because they're brewer's grade malt extracts.
They can also deliver a variety of functionality to all grain brewing because they are unhopped and nondiastatic. Use CBW® Pilsen Light, CBW® Golden Light and CBW® Bavarian Wheat to:
- Increase capacity and boosting productivity
- Boost gravity
- Improve body and head retention
- Propagate yeast
- Minor flavor adjustment
Use CBW® Sparkling Amber and CBW® Traditional Dark to:
- Adjust color
- Adjust flavor
Briess malt extracts are produced in a fully automated, state-of-the-art 500-barrel brewhouse from our own freshly produced Briess Malt. This uniquely qualifies Briess as the only integrated malting company in North America. And that means we have total quality control—from beginning to end.
Our CBW® malt extracts are 100% pure brewer's grade malt extracts. What makes them brewer's grade? The most distinguishing characteristic of a brewer's grade malt extract is its high degree of fermentability and FAN. Briess CBW®malt extracts deliver both.
Develop these characteristics can only be accomplished in a brewhouse-style extraction process, as opposed to other styles of extraction processes. At Briess, we employ multiple step infusion brewing to develop high levels of fermentability and FAN. Then, we concentrate the wort to about 80% solids using gentle vacuum evaporation. The lower temperatures employed during this evaporation process lessen the color development in the finished extract.
Unhopped and nondiastatic, CBW® pure malt extracts are exceptionally full flavored and consistent. They're also fresh because we produce and ship them from America's Heartland, not some foreign port.
