  I'm looking to do an extract version. I've done AG to extract conversion before but I'm
  surprised by the steeping grains in extract version of this recipe. AG7.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row)

  Had an idea....I could make up another gallon of wort (wheat DME/water). Throw some crushed
  grain in and let that work for a while. Then mix it in with this batch

  The starter method came from the thread I linked to above. A lot of people have used it and it
  seems to work for them. I guess I could try some sugar next time. You can see the picture of

  The SG was down around 1020 (OG 1054) but still not much sour. I wonder if I didn't pick up

  I just did a Saison with 3711 and mostly Sorachi Ace hops. I just bottled a week ago so I can't
  tell you how it is yet although the samples tasted pretty good. I can post the recipe if you're
  interest...

  I am planning to try something like this to start doing PM over the summer. I have a couple
  coolers, a 5 gal. brew pot and some large mesh bags. I should be all set.

  I've heard of malt extracts that were specifically made to be less fermentable and were
  intended to be used with sugar. The idea is that sugar is high fermentable and when combining
  with less fermenta...
