I did my first all grain today, and frankly its a little bit of a pain doing AG on an electric range w/o a 7 gallon pot. Its a lot more stuff to clean and time consuming. However, AG brews my friends have made have much better malt characteristics.
But when you're making hoppy brews like IPAs or 50+ IBU pale ales, is it worth it to brew all grain or is a mini-mash just as good? Any opinions?
