Review: Stays Fresh, Can be used in multiple recipes, Container re-usable - I am on my second round with this LME. First 2 gallon jug yielded 8.5 2 gallon recipes. Jug kept the LME fresh for 2 months. I have made Ambers, Reds and Porters with this LME. It is an excellent, malty base. Works well with simple or exotic recipes, including a Triple, a fruit-infused Brown Ale, and currently running a "Nutella Brown Ale" using this LME as the base. Cleaned the jug thoroughly and took it to my local homebrew supply store for a re-fill. Now planning to convert my first jug to a secondary fermenter/clarification tank. Very good value for a shipped product. MUCH better than those awkward pouches from some homebrew shippers. Not as high of an ROI as volume LME from the homebrew supply store, but with a Prime membership, and free shipping - it balances out.
Review: Awesome to have this LME in bulk! - This is a great malt extract. The best thing about this product is the bulk packaging. Message to the seller: don't let the flame die out!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it need to be refrigerated once opened?**
A: I have never refrigerated never had a problem.I have been brewing with liquid malt extract over 30 years.

**Q: Is this suitable for making bagels?**
A: it's for making beer, I don't know how you could possibly use it to make Bagels.  If you need a sugar to feed the yeast and make the dough rise . . . how could you adjust the recipe to use a syrup?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most economical source of LME I've found since my local shop closed
*by K***S on January 14, 2021*

I used to buy bulk extract at a nearby brew shop but they closed and the only other store close by carries only name brand LME in the 3.3 lb canisters. Making a batch was getting expensive. I brewed five or six 5gal batches from this one jug. I kept it refrigerated and purged the headspace with CO2 in between batches. Stayed good for over a year. Made some great beer with it.
