Briess listed color
Who Briess suits
- Extract brewers building their own recipes from DME or LME
- All-grain brewers who want American base and specialty malt
- Gluten-free brewers working from sorghum syrup
Estimate color before brew day with the beer color calculator; a few ounces of roasted barley change a beer more than pounds of base malt.

Before you buy
Check whether grain is crushed or whole before ordering; whole kernels need a mill but keep longer. Buy liquid extract close to brew day and dry extract for long storage, and weigh specialty malts carefully because small amounts change color fast.

Briess: questions
Briess DME or LME?
DME stores longer once opened and is easy to weigh; LME is often used in kits and should be bought fresh because it darkens with age. Both make good beer.
What color is Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt?
1.8 °L, per the listing. Briess Pilsen Malt is lighter at 1.2 °L.
Can I make gluten-free beer with Briess sorghum syrup?
Yes, sorghum is a non-gluten base. Beer brewed from barley and treated with enzymes is only gluten-reduced, which TTB says cannot be verified as gluten-free.
What is an alternative to Briess?
Muntons, Brewer's Best, Maltoferm, Weyermann, Simpsons and Rahr malts and extracts in our catalogue.
