Yeah I,m a mostly extract from scratch brewer,Just curious(lazy) about whether to try or not.Considering i can knock up a 22 litre batch ,Extract ,hops etc for under 30 bucks and tailor it to my own taste,the M.S kits don,t sound that enticing. :blink:roach said:used a few just before going all grain 18 months ago. good quality kits but then again you pay a bit for more for them cf coopers range. in my opinion not worth the extra, better off spending more on hops, LME etc to enhance a standard kit
Standard kits will have a much higher level of bitterness if made to 11.5L as they are meant to be diluted to 23L. Conversely if you made a malt shovel kit to 23L by adding a kilo of unhopped fermentables it would be seriously lacking in bitterness.jimmysuperlative said:does the malt shovel "one can" method work for other kit beers?
...apart from the obvious, what is different about doing another brand with only 11.5 litres of water ...and pitch yeast? :blink:

I tried the Malt Shovel 2 row lager just before I started mini-mashing. Got two cans for $29 on special. I am drinking it now (4 months old) & must say that it certainly is nice & malty with a nice hop finish although with a perhaps a little too much crystal in it for my taste. Was just curious about it so I tried one out. Don't think it's worth the extra money though.phantom said:Any body used em?
