I actually agree with you, it is the same metaphor I have been using. It is the perfect metaphor. The comment that it is "apples to oranges", well he doesn't really understand what a metaphor is..... As I said in my post earlier in this thread, extract brewers are a sensitive lot. In the end it does not matter what method you use to brew, this is about having fun and doing something you enjoy. So enjoy and don't worry about what the elitist AG brewers think, but I'll keep my AG and y'all sensitive weenies can keep your Prego....
I'm an all grain brewer.
