something every noob should know

[jjones17]

theres a place near mayfair mall on fairfield called hobby beer and wine and they have absolutely everything.

Although if you do plan on going there to buy large quantities of grains, you might want to call in advance and if they're short they'll order some for you.

Do they carry grains? Or bulk grains even? This is VERY exciting, hoping to finally get a local hookup!

Kevin, when I have an AG beer I find that I can really tell that its been made by mashing grains in the taste, but with extract, I can always seem to taste the (in my case) syrup thats been used to make it. Its kind of a sinthetic flavour. But using the method I described earlier, I am able to cover that up and make it taste more like an AG batch.

jjones, the steeping grains they sell are all stored in 10 gallon buckets that are always full and they sell in bulk so I dont see why they wouldnt have bulk base grains aswell. They're closed today but i'll call them for you tomorrow and see what they have.

OP:

I've been away for a while (like a few months).

I house beer my friend makes. He loves the cervesas that are out there, and says that additional malt completely ruins it. I can't taste the difference that 500g makes in a 54L batch -- but he can. Now this thread has explained to me why (body).

Thanks for the info, posters.
