Brand spanking new to Brewing

[Escape4rtist]

Hi all,

Decided it was time to save some money and do my own brews. After doing a couple of craft brewery tours I've decided on doing All Grain brews, so wish me luck!

Nice to meet you all.

Welcome!!! I would suggest BIAB as an easy and cheap way to get into AG brewing.

AG brewing is only expensive for people who can't help themselves

The only rich AG brewers are the ones who K&K

Its a hard game the All Grain brewing

It can be absolutely devastating

It can be ok ,allright , not bad.

It can also be FUCKEN marvelous as Richie used to say

Maybe without the first bit before marvelous

But whatever you do don't give in & you will have some success

There's a reason people say you won't go back to Extract brewing once you start All Grain. But brewing with Extract is a great way to get the basic techniques right ie cleaning, sanitising, priming, bottling, chugging

Many of the best Brewers I know brewed extract for a couple years before starting all grain.

Some of the best beers I have had came from simple K&K. Its all about the basics

Can't argue with this. I had a Mangrove Jacks Helles Pilsener which included a dry hop (can't remember which - maybe Citra?) and it was fantastic. But nothing beats the satisfaction of tweaking your own recipe to see what comes out the other end (and having it not taste like p1ss)
