Malt Miller Mini-Mash Kits

[Pudding]

These consist of 3.5kg premium grade liquid malt extract plus pellet hops plus mashing grains plus dried yeast. A minimum of equipment is required, eg: no boiler. Mashing of the supplied grains is done on the stove, (short addition of heat).

Approx 3 hours is needed to make.

I have tried two versions. American Pale Ale £22, and Black IPA £28. The former competes with 2 can beer kits on price. The latter is more expensive.

Both have produced beers which I find indistinguishable from the bottle-conditioned ales I buy. The APA had an apricot taste and good mouthfeel. The Black IPA has aromatic hops and chocolate. There is no 'homebrew twang' with these kits.

I have no connection with The Malt Miller.

look like a good alternative/step up from kit beers

From the MM Facebook post yesterday:

"A limited time offer, order our Liquid Punk Mini Mash kit, and receive a yeast upgrade of Imperial Flagship Yeast. The yeast has a manufacture date of 16/2/18, but good for another week or so, a great way to try this amazing yeast out.
Please ensure you write in your order comments IMPERIAL UPGRADE"

No idea how long it runs for though as that part didn't appear to be mentioned. (Possibly depends upon how it goes).

I guess they have a surplus of out of date yeast so makes sense for them to substitute it

Always incredibly helpful so if at all unsure, just give them a call!

Just reviving an old thread as i have only got back into brewing recently. Looking to make the next move from kits and like the idea of the Mini Mash from the Malt Miller. There is a limited range of the mini mash kits from Rob, however if i wanted to expand am i just looking at amending AG recipes or do i need to look elsewhere using some brewing software? Not really sure where to start.

Ultimately i will go back to AG, though time constraints looking to advance from Kits and the mini mash is ticking a lot of boxes.

Any guidance would be great

Thanks

No reason why you can’t just sub the base malt for malt extract.

I know that malt extract doesn’t always attenuate as much as all-grain wort, so I’d use 10% sugar to help with this.

I often do partial mash brews and the Maltmiller liquid extract is a good base that I will be using more, though I usually use dried extract. I then typically mash about 1kg base malt with other grains required by the recipe. I do use brewing software to assemble the recipe to check IBUs and OG etc. There are simple online brewing calculators like Brewgr and Brewtoad, and free downloads like Brewtarget and Brewmate, the one I use. Just load in your ingredients and adjust quantities.
