So I dove in with both feet. I've got a kegerator and a keg ready at the bit. Its currently holding a gallon of nice cider/dry apple wine I made - its actually quite good!. Then I have an all grain kit and a Brand new brewzilla 35L still in the box.
I've never done grain. Period. I only have a couple LME kits under my belt and bottled, none of which I have managed to really enjoy. I tried some all grain results at my local shop and .... wow.
So here I am. I figured buying all the stuff over time to get to all grain will actually have higher costs over the long run. With guidance from my local shop I can see the value in starting right away with a Brewzilla.
Looking for some guidance. I can't find a good guide that goes from start to finish for a completely novice all grain brewer that starts with something like a brewzilla or grainfather right off the hop (no puns intended).
Everything demonstrating an electric like this assumes you're already familiar with all the mash/lauder/boil steps. I'd like to just see it done start to finish - no steps missed.
I've managed to pretty much screw up every one of my LME kits somehow, but I'm still hanging in there. I am determined to get my 10,000hrs in and dream of going bigger in retirement. Even though I've been making mistakes, I've been learning from them.
Note, in Canada a Grain kit is around $40, LME can kit is around $20-$25. Grains are expensive, but I assume if you want better beer - you should try all grain. Anyone know where to get cheaper grains?
