Fermenter's Favorites® Briess Golden Light DME

The Briess light DME is perfect for yeast starters or when you want to kick up the OG in a recipe. I use it quite a bit and have never been disappointed in the results. This is just a simple, easy-to-store ingredient that should always be on hand.

We use this exclusively for Yeast starters and all the starters are consistent gravity and color. We have not used for brew recipe, so I can't provide feedback in that regards. Dependable!

Northern Brewers is the gold standard for brew craft equipment and materials. I've used them for over 15 years, at both of their locations in Minneapolis and St Paul, MN as well as through mail order. I've always been entirely satisfied.. They are a good value as well as the highest of quality.In person, the staff is completely knowledgeable and could not be more welcoming and helpful.It's ironic that a home/craft brew centered business is owned by mega brewer AB Inbev, but they obviously saw a good business and grabbed it. Fortunately, Inbev managed to not screw it up.

I used this DME to makes a yeast starter 24 hours before brewing. Produced a lot of yeast and blew the airlock out of my 5 gallon fermenter. Batch is still in the secondary so no F.G. reading yet but I'm very happy with this DME

Best way to buy is in bulk.
always a little cheaper that way.
works very good in my lite ales

Pretty golden color. Great flavor! Made a pepper beer with this using 2 fatalii and 5 Trinidad perfume peppers soaked in peach vodka. Also added Australian Summer hops. Turned out to be a good smash beer. Will do again!

As always, my order was processed promptly, correctly and delivered on time.

This is my go to stuff for making yeast starters.

Love this!

What is there to say about the Briess Golden Light DME? It’s got the points you need to top off your partial mash’s gravity. And/or a little goes a long way for propagating your yeast starter. And/or works well in an extract brew. ¯_(?)_/¯

This worked well for me boosting the gravity of an Imperial IPA

I use the DME as a base for my yeast starter and it works great. Never a problem.

Always good to have on hand for a variety of reason. NB has a great selection of products & this is on that list

The order was handled well. The taste was very nice.

Love the flavor and color this simple staple brings. Thank you!

have not brtewed since I got my order

I love to use this for starter yeast!

This is the most cost efficient way to buy DME. When it comes to 5-gallon batches, DME is the most economical approach if one values time. Anything 10 gallons and up all-grain is definitely the preferred method.

It's fine. I've used it lots of times, mostly for yeast starters, and the yeast seems to like it. :-) Happy yeast equals good beer. Seems like a consistently good product.

I do all grain brewing now and the one thing that makes it great is to start my yeasts as a starter. I use the DME exclusively so it doesn't overpower my complex grain bills. Great stuff!

It's just dme. What else can I say. Why would anyone need to even read reviews on dme?

Awesome fermentable sugar

Great product, good for yeast starters, recipes and adjusting OG.

Makes a good yeast starter. 1/2 cup with 650-750 ml water, boil for 15 minutes, cool, pitch yeast, place on stir plate.

I like to put a twist on my starters. Usually, I make a starter in a 5L flask, but lately, I’ve been taken 100 g of DME, 1L of water, cook it up in a pan (boil for 5 minutes) with a pinch of yeast nutrient, chill it, and put it right into my fermenting bucket the day before brewing with the yeast. Then I just pour my chilled wort right on top of it (actually it trickles out of my counterflow chiller). It’s good for your low ABV% beers. This DME does the trick for me every time!

I use it to make yeast starters, also I almost always make a six Gallon + batch using the 7.9 gallon bucket and a pound and a half of This DME + a pint of sugar always brings the OG about 2 points above the recipe set OG. Any way It works for the beers I use it with. If you check out the one gallon batches northern brewer sells you'll find 1 1/2 pound Golden light DME is what's in most of the kits. Good stuff "cheers"

I'm using it for yeast starter. Works as advertised.

Use this Breiss dry malt for starters, extra gravity,early-late additions, priming,....etc,etc,etc,you get the idea,..that's why you should keep a extra pound on hand!

This is a great product for starters. I usually store mine in a airtight container, if the malt collects any moisture it gets hard as rocks. Don't worry though, throw it in a blender and it is good as new.

I find that this is good to keep around whether it's for a starter or have some extra fermentables for a batch.

Although I am an all grain brewer, I use this malt for my starters. Works great and I'm sure it's a great malt for extract brewing.

This is a nice quality DME that has many uses. I use it for starters and to boost my OG of my recipes to reach my desired gravity. Just turn off your burner while adding and make sure it's thoroughly mixed in. Also watch out because the steam rising from your pot will make this stuff stick to everything!

What can i say. Price is right and is what i needed for yeast starters. Maybe even use it for a gravity boost in the near future.

I use it mostly for yeast starters with no problems,

I use this for yeast starters, as a primer for bottling and adding gravity. Great product!

I've used this in my Xmas ale, stouts, and for double IPAs. Also great for yeast starters. Can't go wrong with this stuff

I only use this product for starters so can't say much more about it.

This product is my "go to" for making yeast starters. I've been buying White Labs yeast lately, not only because its a good product, but the glass vials are re-useable.

Works great for yeast starters!!!

Excellent base malt! Great packaging! Cheaper then local shop.

Excellent for boosting gravity of any kit and for yeast starters.

I brewed with this DME about three weeks ago. Northern Brewer's product description was accurate. The DME came fresh and it worked well in my recipe. I have noticed active fermentation. As i poured the DME into the kettle the steam caused some of the DME to coagulate around the edge of the bag which got a little stick. Not a big deal but something to watch out for.

I use this for making yeast starters. Good stuff, no complaints.

This worked great for starters. No complaints at all

I now use the DME for all my brewing. I no longer use LME.

I love Briess products, I am an all grain Brewer but loved extract for simplicity and a quick brew day. Always measure out extract on a scale for consistent brews I have found my packs are over an ounce or so.

The Breiss Golden Light dry malt extract is perfect for yeast starters. Using a yeast starter is key in kicking off the fermentation, doesn't taint flavor, and is very easy to work with.

I am fairly new to home brewing and have found this to a great and inexpensive way to meddle with recipes in small batches. Easy to divide and store.

I use this for all kinds of brews. I used 10 lbs. as a base malt for my barleywine. It gives a great grainy taste to the beer. I was so impressed with my barleywine, I shared it with some friends from my local homebrew shop. They thought it was excellent! I made it again this year and it's been conditioning 7 months now. I will enter it into the local barleywine contest in December. Based on last years results, the judges said I have a great chance of winning. Use it in any beer style as a base malt. You won't be disappointed.

I have been using Briess DME golden light for my starters for the past 2 years. Very easy to store and easy to use. Glad you can buy it in bulk as well.
