I used to do just extract batches years ago. I decided this winter I was going to start brewing again, and I was going to go all grain from the start.
Now I cant think about much else. I'm either looking for brewing advice or reading about advice. I'm always planning my next batch and what neat new things I'm going to try. I love every step of all grain brewing. I find my self spending much more money then I want too, and I justify it easily. I find my self skipping work so I can brew or read about brewing. My friends are wondering where iv been. Except the ones that like drinking home brew.
With every batch I'm learning something new. If I dont like how it came out, I learn how to fix it for the next time. I'm obsessed with trying the beer in each of its stages to learn more. A five gallon batch never lasts till its done aging. The beer is always in the green stage when the keg kicks. But that's ok, now I have room for the next batch. I think a step up to ten gallon batches is in the future. Also more kegs, you can never have to many kegs.
I bet there's more then a few on here who feel the same, lol.
