===Malt extract===
Some kits contain a concentrated malt extract rather than grain. Malt extract can be either dry or in a [[syrup]] form, both used to produce [[fermented syrup]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://brewconductor.com/brewing/extract-brewing/your-first-beer-extract-brewing/ |title=Extract Brewing |access-date=18 June 2016}}</ref> A few advanced kits may also come with a small amount of milled, malted grain that must be steeped with the wort before boiling. A grain bag is usually included to facilitate this process. These additional grains help add different character to the beer so that a single extract can be used to brew several varieties of beer. A full boil is required, with hop additions at different times depending on style.<ref>{{cite web |last=Palmer|first=John|title=How to Brew|url=http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/index.html|access-date=7 September 2011}}</ref> A typical brew session using extract typically takes 2 hours, not including fermentation.
