Traditional Malt Extract Beer Kits.
Beer made from malt extract became popular in Britain during the 1950's. The hop-flavoured malt extract was sold in cans and it was how many people were introduced to home-brewing. Malt extract is a thick molasses-like syrup which contains concentrated malted barley and hops flavouring. To start a brew you simply add water and the yeast provided with the kit. It's then left to ferment for about 7 - 14 days before bottling. After 14 days in the bottle your beer is ready to drink. It's simple and easy to make a great-tasting beer using just malt extract.
Beer kits have evolved quite a bit since the original canned beer kit was introduced. Although canned malt extract beer kits are still popular, cold-filled pouches which retain more of the delicate flavours and aroma of the malt are beginning to transform the market. Even though there are more sophisticated all-grain beer kis on the market, malt extract beer making is still attractive to many home-brewers mainly because of its simplicity and economy.
