Not sure if they have extract kits by Brewhouse, but I would highly recommend them if they do! They are not boiled down canned malts, it is wort that comes in a bag similar to wine kits. I have made a couple of these kits and they turn out very good! Here is the website...

I have adjusted the false bottom, here is the before and after. Think this will work?

My Mash Tun

As per Beersmith I added 15qts for the mash (7.5 lbs grain). Batched sparged with 5.5 gal, again, as per beer smith. -Grains = 6.5 lbs Pale 2 Row/.5 lbs Crystal 10/.5 lbs Crystal 60 -After back-flushing with air I managed to get a slow trickle, took 1hr 45 to gather all wort. -false bottom...

I just finished my second all grain brew today, but have had the same problem with each brew. I heat my strike water to the correct temp as per Beersmith, add the water to my mash tun, then add the grains. After an hour I try to collect the wort, all I get is a couple drops or wort before the...

Well I finally took the plunge and upgraded all equipment in preparation for my first all grain batch. Being from Winnipeg, Canada, its very tough to get equipment at a reasonable price, but after a quick 9hr drive to Minneapolis I'm stocked up. From Home Depot I bought 2 10 gal Rubbermaid...

Well just an update to let everyone know how it turned out, I decided to bottle rather than keg and cracked one open tonight. After only a week in the bottle i must say this batch turned out very good, the 8 oz of Maltodextrin worked like a charm. Thanks again to everyone for their advice!

Thanks to everyone who replied, I appreciate all the advice. I decided to make a "pale ale" kit from my LHBS that was way too watery last time I made it. I added 8oz of maltodextrin during the boil. I just racked to the secondary and tasted a little sample, its already 10X better than last...

Captian Damage - Ill try the Carapils addition to the kits I have purchased already, and ill post the results when its done! Thanks for the tip. Just curious why the Carapils doesn't have to be mashed? Yooper - I can defiantly find a recipe and have my LHBS crush the required grains for me...

The brew store puts everything together in a package, but neglects to list ingredients. There is a bag of crushed grains 1-2lbs, couple bags of pre measured hop pellets, a tub of LME and dry yeast. There is no mention of what specific grains or hops are used.

I have made a couple of kits from my LHBS that are extract with steeped specialty grains. They taste good, they are just way to "watery" ( no mouthfeel, body). I have searched around and found that my options seem to be mash oats or add malto dextrin. Just wondering if there are any other...

Made this last weekend, first partial mash! Been in the primary for 7 days now, F.G. now at 1.010, will rack to secondary today! Very excited to see how it turns out. Thanks for the recipe!
