I wasn't trying to say anything about your product. I wouldn't know the first thing about it to make any comments. The point I am making is that if you want to get into grain brewing making a wort kit is not going to assist you in making the transition as it is a more basic procedure than kit beers. I would say it is a step backwards if you want to learn to brew.I Agree its very basic, but hey we are not making cordial or regular beer here!

Actually, the original poster said he would like to try an all grain brew. Fresh wort kits are not going to help them do an all grain brew.Fair point, but the original question was "what are the benefits?", not "how do I do AG?". The fresh wort kits were mentioned as a way to get a feel for what's possible if you take the next step.
Oh, in case you are wondering, even after this investment your beers will cost $ more per glass than kits....

Good advice, aside from the last point. My AG's (ie.. the simple ones!) cost around $10 for grain, $6 for hops and $2 for yeast, and the power cost to use the immersion heater.
So $18.... been a while since I bought a kit, but thought that a good kit + DME or whatever would have been more than this?

I'd like to try an all grain brew - i've only ever used kit beer - what are the benifits of all grain?
Please excuse me if this is a dumb question.... i am blonde
