DRE. Add alcohol without adding any residual sweetness. Lightens flavor. Use for light style beers, or any beer where you want to add fermentables without increasing body.
BEST ANSWER:DRE isn't barley derived so it won’t give you additional malt characteristics, basically only more alcohol with little difference in flavor. Usually I add the DME later in the boil to bring up the gravity when it’s not hitting my mark. DRE can be used all kinds of ways, I use it mainly in yeast starters when I want a neutral starter solution to make mead and beer. I probably didn’t answer your question but tried to give you a little information to let you decide.

Rice extract can be added anywhere up to the last 15 minutes of the boil to ensure proper sanitization. For my American Lager that won the 2021 Homebrewer of the Year award, I added in the last 15 minutes of the boil in order to minimize the amount of color that might be added from an extended boil (Maillard reaction)
Hi Richard. The recipe I followed called for a 60 minute boil. It listed the rice extract to be added at the beginning of the boil. We were really pleased with the results. Cheers! Marv W
I just use it as DME. There are people who use it later in the boil in the hopes of getting a little more sweetness but I am not sure that is valid here
BEST ANSWER:By itself rice is Gluten Free. That said, I can't say whether or not Brewmaster has the controls to prevent cross contamination at their production or packaging facilities. You should contact them directly.

In addition to the obvious use in pale lagers, this can be used in emergencies when your mash fails to hit your predicted target gravity. It can be added at the end of the boil to boost the gravity without adding any flavors that change the intent of your recipe.
Making an American lt lager, so gives a slightly cleaner flavor than flaked maize, but somehow different than just adding dextrose. Have had good success using this about 60 DME:40 Rice for lt lagers and made to the NHC finals this past year...
Be ready to stir this for awhile and turn off your burner. It turned into a giant ball of sticky granules that resembled rock candy. Eventually I did get it to dissolve by heating it up slowly to avoid scorching and stirring for about 30 min. The product was just as it advertised. I did notice the label says gluten free but the number one ingredient listed is barley malt which is known to have gluten in it. If you have celiac I would research this to be sure.
