What is Light Malt Extract (DLME)?
Light Malt Extract (DLME) is a concentrated liquid extract derived from malted barley that is primarily used in brewing beer, ale, and mead. In the realm of mushroom cultivation, it serves to enhance mycelium expansion by providing an optimal mix of nutrients and carbohydrates necessary for superior growth.
Applications of Dried Malt Extract in Mushroom Growing:
Rootlab incorporates it in various formulations:
- Creating nutrient-rich agar plates such as MEA, MEAG and MYPA
- Developing Slants both with and without wood.
- Making liquid culture jars
Recommended Ratios for Using DLME:
A general guideline is to use 10 grams of DLME for every 500ml of water. For example:
- For 500ml of liquid culture, add 10 grams of DLME.
- For 1000ml of Agar Petri dishes, add 20 grams of DLME.
