it doesn't seem worth the trouble otherwise with the wonderful uprising of mico breweries and smallers breweries that are producing fantastic beer and most liquor stores carry them now.

It's been worth it for me. If you want to really understand beer, understand how and why different styles taste the way they do, then brewing is a great way to gain that knowledge.

Its all grain, but I'm sure I could convert it over for you. The only issue I would have is I use Vienna as a part of the grain bill, and I don't know how you would get that flavor with anything but all grain or partial mash. Any suggestions Reaper?
You could still do it, it would just be a little bit different. I just love the flavor that Vienna gives to beer, its probably one of my favorite malts. All Grain Recipe (note this was modified off of a recipe on Homebrewtalk, so can't take all the credit): Grain: 10lbs 2 row 2lbs Vienna 8oz Carapils 8oz Crystal 15L Mash at 152 for 60mins Hops: .75oz Centennial 60mins .25oz Centennial 45mins 1oz Centennial 15mins 1oz Centennial 5mins 1oz Centennial 1min 1oz Centennial Dry Hop - 7 Days Yeast: Safale 05 To switch to extract the grain bill would change to something like: 7lbs Golden Light DME Steeping Grains: 8oz Carapils 8oz Crystal 15L Step at 155-160 degrees for 30mins Everything else would stay the same. |

I did about 5 batches of extract before switching to all grain. I haven't done a conversion in about 2 years. I had to look up what temp to steep at and the grain to extract conversion calculator, lol.
