Yes you can add grains to the kit brews, NO DO NOT BOIL THEM :nono: They need Steeping at a mash Temp somewhere between 64-67c, steeping is soaking basically, For around 30 min. You'll need 3 times the amount of water to grains so if you have 400grm of grain add in 1.2ltr of water and so on. Yes these grains could be in a bag, or the wort run off and grains captured in a fine seive.

As for quantity of grains I wouldn't know.
