This thread is not to start an argument. It is just something that i think should be.
Extract brewing, and steeping grains miss a giant factor in the brewing process.
the mash.
I dont believe that all grain and extract should be in the same competitions. Sure, we know that everything from the boil on is basically the same process. But the mash in brewing is in my opinion, aside from fermentation, the most important aspect to it all. It adds an extra level of difficulty and knowledge, that the extract brewer may possess but not put into practice.
With this being something that is undeniable. Why do they still combine extract and all grain beers in competitions?
im sure this has been discussed before, but my brief search did not provide me with any conclusions.
