Malt Extract

What is Malt Extract? The malt extract is a sweet substance used as an ingredient in brewing. The malt extract is derived from the processing of the malt grain that, through the grinding, is transformed in the form of flour, which put in the vats is mixed with water. Malt enzymes convert the starch into simple sugars and dextrins. The result will be a mixture of sugar, water and spent grain (Saccharification). This must is filtered separating the spent grain from the sugar solution and sent to the concentrator in which it evaporates water at low temperatures thus obtaining a malt extract concentrated to a residual value of around 80%. The concentrate is sent to spray to produce the extract in powder or is sent to the storage tanks to be packaged.
