Original extract content

The original extract content is the amount of liquefied malt material present in the unfermented wort, and is primarily comprised of malt sugar, protein, vitamins, and natural aromas. The fermentation breaks 1/3 of the extract into alcohol and another 1/3 into carbonation. The final 1/3 remains as extract.
