Every mini-mash kit comes standard with 5 to 7 lbs of liquid malt extract and 4 to 6 lbs of grain. A mini-mash requires that you hold the mash (grain) at temperatures between 150 to 160 degrees for an hour and then sparge (rinse) the grain with 170 degree water. It's a very easy process to do (each kit comes with complete instructions) and it makes our Mini Mash Beer Recipe Kits a great introduction to
all grain brewing. The advantage of doing a mini-mash is that you can utilize grains that have to be mashed without having to do all grain brewing. Even if you don't get all the potential sugar you will still make great beer. If you are interested in trying your hand at a mini-mash, we recommend looking at our affordable
Mini Mash Equipment Kit, which makes the whole mini-mash process very simple.
