I've made my MLT, and am basically ready to give all-grain a try. I am a "process" guy and always want to learn more. That is one of the big reasons to try it out.
I've made a few extract beers, and they have all been pretty good. Apparently I have that process and sanitation nailed. There are some extract process alternatives I ought to try, such as late extract additions. I think I want to explore ways to make my extract beers better.
I will try an all-grain beer soon, but I'm not dying to do it this afternoon. I know I can make all-grain with a cheaper ingredient bill, and I've heard that there will not be an "extract" taste. What else can I expect from all-grain beer? I'm not even sure if I know what the "extract" taste is.
I have decided upon a Northern English Brown Ale as my first all-grain beer. I will also make an extract version so I can a good taste comparison.
Your comments are appreciated.
