I actually am not set up to do all grain So I bought this roaster oven at walmart, split the kit in 2 and did half in that mashing it for an hour to 90 minutes. Added about 2kg of LME and extra hops in the boil as I always augment the hop profiles. Well when I drank it at it's 60 day mark it turned out EXCELLENT. Much better than I thought it would. I would actually buy this kit again. I'm a hop head so I always get a couple pounds extra of hops to use in my kits usually doubling the bittering and flavoring hops. This Altbier was just hoppy enough to taste the hops clearly. I would definitely recommend this kit to others. Surprising results.

My First all grain brew other then the kit my gf bought me for Christmas. Instructions were great and made enough sense for me to get through the brew with no issues. I didn't order the clarifying tablet but was happy to see when I transferred from primary to secondary and also to bottle that the beer was nice and clear. Just had my first beer from the batch tonight and the flavor was great! Thanks OBK I cant wait to try the IPA kit I bought and will be buying more kits in the futur
