Benefits of a full mash grain brew?

SOLD!



I so wanna do this after reading all the *pursuasive* comments (or maybe because i'm 6 pints of wherry down )

after looking at the PDF of the australian chaps set-up i made a few phonecalls to my mate that used to work at my local brewery.. he said he *might* be able to pursuade his former boss to 'lose' 3 or 4 80 pint kegs due to 'safety reasons' for which i might be able to convert to a boiler, etc... but we'll see what happens

hehe yeah... benefit of working in the house building industry... you get to make a site visit and bugger off home early on fridays

edit:
if this had been my last batch of wherry i'd have been under the table as i read the youngs brewing instructions instead of the wherry box which told me to add a kilo of sugar ... my my that stuff kicked like a mule, and imo actually tasted better

well i am very new to AG brewing and there is alot of tech head B/S out there on it which frieghten the burjeebus out of me but then this site just made me take a deep breath and jump in and do one .
i found that once i had done my second batch and understood the basics the techy stuff starts to make a bit of sense.

my equipment cost me about 600 dollars to build and buy but that said you brits have some great brau heat gear at your disposal .

all i can suggest is to go and have a look at jims brewing tehniques and equipment section the buttons are on the top right .you will then hopefully as i was so inspired you will just mash one up with out the worry of the tech stuff. and then you will more than likely start asking DaaB the man for the tech help. beleive me these blokes are the best . they know there stuff and all the members are the friendliest bunch in the world IMHO.

WHAT I MEAN IS i have been a member of other forums around the bigpond and am-online but they are not as friendly as this site and a helpfull .the guys here got me into AG within two to thre weeks hows that?

this site is more tutorial than techtorial less BS and more about the craft rather than the science lesson.
go for it AG + JIMS BEER KIT = GREAT CRAFT BREWING. thats all the math you need to start with.

spend as much or as little as you want.

three cheers to all the lads on this site

Why bother going all grain just to replicate commerical brews...you can do MUCH better than that!!

I was in Beaulieu yesterday. We had a gig at the Abbey. After set up we retired to a hotel/pub in village and I had a pint of Ringwood 49'er. It tasted very green - still had fermentation flavours lingering - like our beers do when we rack them into secondaires/kegs/bottles.

We can do better than that - because we CAN. No time pressure, and no restraints and restrictions on ingredients and process dictated by economics.
