All included steeping grains will come milled.

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

Seems like a basic wheat which may be a good base for fruit additions.

No grains so I don’t need to buy any grains? Just skip that step?
Darren Rowland on Apr 24, 2020
BEST ANSWER: This kit does not contain any grain in addition to the malt extract. You can certainly add your own to make your own recipe. A lot of wheat beers, even when not using extract, will be nice and simple to create a light and easy drinking brew.

Great recipe
I love this American wheat, more than a traditional german wiezen. I used White Lab American Hefewiezen yeast instead of american ale. Great color and flavor.

A straight forward beer to brew and a fun beer to play around with. Use a Hefeweizen yeast to get those nice esters and phenols. Use a clean American yeast (05, 001, 1056) if you want to play around with other additions.
