So I've got four extract batches (3 kits and 1 original recipe) under my belt and I don't see myself ever going back to buying beer as opposed to brewing beer. Each time I crack open my IPW or my 6 Malt Amber or my most recent original recipe IPA, I'm blown away by the flavor and freshness. Not to mention the satisfaction in knowing that I made it, cared for it, bottled it and enjoy every part of the process. I know that the next step is AG but at this point, I'm having such fun with extract that I think I will play around with that kind of brewing for a while before going all in with all grain.
I want to say thanks to everyone on HBT for your help, advice and free sharing of experience and knowledge. As a relative rookie, between Palmer, Papazian and HBT, I have all the resources I could ever want to make great homebrew.
Time to open up Beersmith and work up my next recipe.
Thanks again!
