Topic: Malt Extract

I tried the malt beer. As soon as I loosened the plastic cork, it exploded out of the bottle with a bang and hit the ceiling. Always a good sign where beer is concerned. I replaced the stopper and set the bottle outside for night - it is still quite cold here. I may decide to drink it tomorrow.

I poured it from the bottle it was in to another bottle to try to leave the sediment that had formed, but it was so fizzy after being opened the sediment just kicked up into the liquid. Up till now, I have been pouring it from one container to another, and not bothering to use the siphon tubing method because it seemed like such a nuisance. I may have to re-think that. Then again, the sediment is brewer's yeast, which is a rich source of B vitamins -- you buy it in pill form at the health food store -- so if it only detracts from the appearance and not the taste, some sediment in the drink may be a good thing.
