Can of Liquid Malt Extract
Liquid Malt Extract, or LME, is the result of removing some, but not all of the water from the wort. It is a syrup and is available in hopped and unhopped forms. One pound of base malt is equivalent to approximately 0.75 pounds of LME. It can be packaged in cans, plastic containers, or sealed bags. While typically less expensive than dried extract, the main drawback of LME is the difficulty found in measuring and handling the thick, syrup-like substance.
