Is the work worth it? I just started brewing with three extract brews under my belt. All of them I did with steeping grains. The kits are nice but I want to experiment a little more to expand my horizons. The extract beers are good and everything but with the exception of the Chocolate Stout, they aren't as good as I hoped they would be. They seem to lack a little in body and flavor.
Should I keep experimenting with extracts and hops and steeping grains to figure what I like before I go all grain or should I just go for it? I started reading about it last week and it seems complicated to me. How difficult is the process? Also how expensive would it be to get an AG system to brew 5 gal batches? I need to get a turkey fryer/propane stove setup anyway as my electric stove isn't cutting it any more and I have plenty of room in the garage to set an AG system up. I'm just not sure whether it's too soon.
Thanks!
