Dubbel Dachs

I looked at some of his recipes, and being new to brewing, I want advise. He brews with all grain. Exactly what is ment be all grain. Some of the recipes sound really, really good! So please can somebody clear this up for me. thanks

All Grain recipes do not use Liquid or Malt Extracts. Grains
are cracked from their husks and cooked with water to
extract the fermentable sugars used in making your wort.

Extracts have this process already completed, and dehydrate
the wort into a condensed liquid or dry powder, so you don't
have to mess with the grain.

While you have more control over the overall resulting beer
using all grain, more advanced techniques and equipment must
be used to achieve this.

See:

John Palmer - Brewing Your First All-Grain Beer

You can use some specialty grains in an extract recipe to add
additional flavors by steeping them prior to the boil with your
liquid or dry extract. This is easier, and cheaper to achieve
for a beginner.

See:

John Palmer - Brewing Your First Extract and Specialty Grain Beer

Is there patial or extracts that can be substituted?

Usually, it can be converted. What recipe do you have in mind specifically? I'll see if I can convert it.

You can steep specialty grains (crystal, chocolate, etc) with your water before
it gets to boiling and addition of any liquid or dry extract. This will give you better
flavors than extract alone.

When you get into partial mashes, etc. I honestly haven't read much about it yet.
I'm still working on getting my first extract batch sorted.

I would read Palmer's book online (free).

I would like to try the Orange Honey Hefeweizen, and the Deez Nut Brown Ale.

Can you provide a link to them? Thanks!

I just looked it up on dubbel dachs profile, and he has them listed under his recipes.

Wow! My very own thread?!?!?

Well, it's a relief that those pictures and video of me aren't here... It was college for christ's sake!!!

Moving on..... I got the Nut Brown recipe from Lil' Sparky... The OHH is a partial mash - shouldn't be too hard to convert to extract. All my recipes are on my web page in my sig. Feel free to PM me anytime!

EDIT: Looks like someone translated the Nut Brown to extract in Sparky's thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f67/nut-brown-ag-30187/index2.html
