Alright, I've only got 3 brews under my belt and I'm ready to step it up. I've read extensively about partial mash and AG applications, and I can't seem to justify doing a partial mash. The process seems to be nearly identical. Temperature control, grain bill, strike water temp, sparge techniques, all these things seem to be the same whether you're doing a partial mash or an AG. In the near future, I plan to go AG, so maybe I'm biased. Still, I just can't find any reason to do a partial mash. I've heard people say that it takes up more space, but how? Because you'd be using a 5G cooler instead of a 10G. Maybe I'm overlooking something here, but can anyone give me a reason not to jump from extract straight to AG and cut out the PM techniques?
