I am a 100% visual learner! I can read through books and manuals all day and have a good understanding of whatever it is trying to teach me but until I visually see it I won't completely get it.

I have found many videos for beginner AG brewers but was wondering if there is an all out hands down got to watch video on AG brewing with step by step instructions using BASIC equipment.

I have only done one batch of brew and it was an extract obviously but it did include grains that I had to steep :fro: I realize that has nothing to do with AG brewing but I can't stop learning about this hobby and want to work my way to AG as quick as I can to have complete control over my beers.

Thanks
 
+1 to the Chris Knight videos, that's how I got started. Just don't get overwhelmed, it's not as complicated as it seems.:mug:
 
What I did after stressing and getting royally confused:

Buy ingredients for a simple recipe. Then brew it. The key was, I told myself, I'm not making good beer, I'm just going through the motions and will most likely dump this beer.
The beer turned out fine and I realized AG brewing is easy as pie.
 
You guys are right! I just went through the Chris Knight video series and he does make it look really simple.

The only other real different steps from extract I see are using whole grains and crushing them, mashing them at a temp for X amount of time in a mash tun, and calculating everything needed which from what I can tell is already done for you with calculation tools floating around.

Anything else critical I missed?
Can you buy pre-crushed barley to avoid a crusher?
Does it save a bunch of money to buy these ingredients in bulk?

I may be to all grain quicker than I thought

PS I ordered a Honey Brown Ale from Austin HB on Monday. Anyone know how long it take them to ship out and to receive the package? I'm hoping to have it by Sat. so I can brew again this weekend.
