Your best excuse for not going AG

[Ducatiboy stu]

Give us your best excuse for why you dont AG..

'Cos CBC got ma monie.

Oooh - Too soon?

 

[goomboogo]

Because I live in the city.

This sounds like it's going to be a productive thread...

... heads off for pop corn and beer..

Space is probably the biggest reason for folks, but with the advent of Grainfathers and single vessel units easy enough to build.. its not a great excuse..

Time is the other, but again, timers can greatly decrease the requirement on a brewday day so again, not a great excuse.

complacency is probably the only one that doesnt have a good work around and Im tipping that there will be many with a ticket on that cruise

I didn't have one, hence why I brew all grain

For me it's a disability where I physically can't stand for long periods of time. I have brewed AG but have gone back to kits and bits, easier, quicker and far less physically demanding.

You do it because you can. But if you don't get bored of that can brew/extracts results then all good.
I simple cant get the same results of my best beers using extract. Its always higher final gravity.
Try getting FG as low as 1.002 5%abv with extract malt without using sugar. No way I'd reckon.
Not without using some freaky chemical additive.
$0.02

What sort of beer do you want to get to 1.002? That's practically water..

Ypu can get extract that low easily, dry enzyme or champagne yeast.

Drunkenness is a side effect, not an excuse.

When I first read about doing All Grain, I became a bit apprehensive at first because you have to be naked to do it.

I'm cool with it now.

err, not sure if I'm allowed.

Cost of equipment for ease of use. Saving for the Grainfather.
