Comments on: How to Brew Series Number 1: What types of brewing can you do? http://thankheavenforbeer.com/2009/04/09/how-to-brew-series-what-types-of-brewing-can-you-do/ We love beer, we thank heaven. Begrudgingly, we admit we are not the authority on all things "beer," but we know our fair share. Enjoy the good brew with us; correct us where we're wrong.

Well, I guess it should be since it was made by a "Master Maintenance Man". I'm fortunate enough to work with him. I hope to do my first batch of All Grain this weekend. How was the beer I sent to you (Pale Ale & Chocolate Porter)? I look forward to tmeeting you soon and toasting a few brews. BZ Mike:

That's really the only difference, which is why I said that number 2 was not a leap at all. But the great majority of the "kits" really are number 1. Yes, Unless they have actual grains in them.

I've done that twice now but I wouldn't push it any further. If I want a really big beer (I can do one that it about 8%) I'll just have to do two extractions or get another one. Do you do a protein rest for that head or are you just finding that your grains are well modified enough that you don't have to worry? I can get 14 1/2 lbs into my tun.

I limit myself to about 10 lbs. of grain so as to have ample room to close the lid whilst I let it sit. The cool thing is that since I've begun all-grain brewing, my head retention has been awesome: thick, almost velvety white head that just stays with the beer throughout the drinking process. It's a thing of beauty. :-) I Gott a 5 gallon mash tun, in lovely orange. :-) The one disadvantage I have found is that I like big beers, and the grains just don’t all fit with the mash water.
