Hi , this site seems to be just what i have been looking for. My first batch is bottled, looks good so far, i cant wait to drink it and im already planning a new brew. How long should i brew with extracts before moving on to mash?

Why don't you just turn your credit card in now. :D
 
Ker ching....

You can get the basics going with extract and read about going allgrain in the meantime. Extract is a good starting point, getting away from the kits (tins) makes it more interesting - using DME (dried malt extract) and hops and doing the boil. Boiling is good - stinks the house out with the smell of hops and malt!!!

The next step is adding speciality grains. You could do that for a while and then progress to allgrain. ...this is the path I am doing - have only just started not using tins!
 
Welcome to the forum Grüner Brauer. This place can help prevent bottle bombs but may drain the bank account. :D
