Is there much quality differences in extract or going with AG, which taste better,

Nice Recipe, for a 5 gal batch it would be a nice first try at AG, I only have one kettle to brew in, guess it is time to expand, would batch sparge work with that

15 dollars would be great I already spend 30 and up on kits

I am now getting very efficient on time, which I feel is necessary before I go to all grain. when I go online and research different all grain brew equipment, sky is the limit. figuring out which is best is tough especially when I keep looking at the 10-15 gallon batch systems

I have now brewed only 5 times all with kits, that I have had to add grains and hops. I find it very satisfying and the beer is good. Being a chef I want to explore more and learn the ingredients more to create my own brews not just recipes given to me by kits. I want to add things like honey...

I have put the dunkelweizen in secondary for 19 days, Turned out good. I noticed all bb kits recommend a secondary. Well the 5 that I have done

I just brewed my second dunkelweizen, My friends and I liked it, the irish red was good also. Brewed an American Light today, I hope it turns out good, the wort tasted bitter on the end

I brewed a dunkelweizen also and I steeped crushed munich and crushed chocolate then added the LME, DME, then hops, I feel I am learning a false perception on grain brewing although I am using grains in extract brewing,

The home brew store is close, and when I walk in I cant help to look at all the 50 pound bags and the great smell of grains, not to mention the vast array of different kinds. Then I start adding the additional cost of equipment I need. I guess I start building a little at a time

I agree with the time, I finished American light today in 3 hours (which made wife happy), and hit the og where I wanted, fermentation is under way. I am becoming more efficient with every brew

I have brewed 5 brews with a kit and like the beer, but am always looking at all grain brew setups and want to buy a whole setup. kits range from $29-32. is it much cheaper to all grain brew
