Our American Red extract is mashed with pale and crystal (caramel) malts, for a deep amber-red color and rich, partially caramelized malt flavor. For the deepest red color and smooth flavor, our American Red has been mashed without roasted barley, just with a large proportion of light and dark crystal malt. Brew your own robust red beers to your own taste without the need for mashing.
Approximate SRM color value of 6 pounds of extract dissolved into 5 gallons of water before boiling: 9

Q: Does this come as one 6 or 8 pound package, or is a few smaller packs?
A: It comes as one 4, 6, or 8 pound pouch, depending on which size you order.
Beware of the packaging
I am having a hard time being charitable. I bought the 8 pound size, and it came in an 8 pound bladder. I had hoped to split it into two 2 1/2 gallon batches, and use the extra to be the base of a partial extract batch. I'm going to have to find something to keep 5# of malt in before I can open it. I assume it is worthy malt, but I missed my brewday due to logistics.
BEST RED EVER
Making a red IPA. You can not go wrong with these extracts. BEST PRICE EVER
Makes a great beer
I usually all-grain brew, but I wanted to save time so I gave this 8# pack a try with 6 oz of Citra pellets (60, 20, 15, 10, 5, 0 minutes) and WLP001, and it came out fantastic. I'll definitely brew this again.
My first red
Just finished my first american style red with this extract. It was great!!!

I have had excellent results using this product. It has been very consistant in quality and results everytime I have used it. I plan on using a lot more of it.
