Extract brewing

Extract brewing is a method of making beer that involves using malt extract instead of raw grains. In this process, the brewer dissolves a concentrated syrup or powder made from malted barley into water, which serves as the base for brewing. This simplifies the brewing process by eliminating the need for mashing and boiling raw grains. Extract brewing is popular among beginners and homebrewers because it requires less equipment and time while still allowing for creativity in flavoring with hops and additional ingredients. The result is a variety of flavorful beers with less complexity in the brewing steps.
