Hi everyone, After much reading and research I have decided to give the AG a go. To date I have done a few extracts plus grains and of course a lot of kit plus bits. But now the time has come to AG. I followed the great instructions about building a mash tun. Mine is a small esky plus braid...

Hi all, I've been doing a few extract plus specialty grains over the past couple of months, and I'm going to be trying my first AG over Easter, but more on that later.... What I'm wondering is why do some grains require mashing while others do not. And why can't we do to other grains what ever...
