Hey Crew,
I've been brewing for a bit over a year now, and hadn't been quite content with most of my extract brews (an odd "signature" flavor in the majority of them that I've yet to identify--I used only "quality" extract--NB and Midwest, for the record).
This year, I've one all-grain (doing mainly smaller, 3-gallon batches with my 5-gallon mash/lauter tun). A friend of mine (my brewing mentor, so to speak) asked if I was planning any more extract brews, and I said no. I've been enjoying all-graining it and haven't had that "signature" flavor in one of my AG brews. In fact, my best brews have been since "upgrading," if you will.
So, the question is, once you go AG do you ever really go back? Interested in what you all say.
