I did about 4 batches of extract based (mostly liquid) IPAs from the local More Beer store. They were great.
It really didn't take long to jump to the all grain setup. Using the cooler mash tun, big 15 gallon kettle, even a grain crusher.
The one difference I've noticed is a difference in the mouth feel from micro-bubbles. This was very prevalent in the extract - but not in the all grain batches.
Other modifications in the transition: I was always using RO water - and the liquid extract contains those lost minerals. Today I'm using 11 grams of gypsum and 6 grams of Epsom salts to replenish the lost minerals from the RO treatment.
Is there an ingredient which I'm missing to replace this micro-bubble mouth feel?
