Food & Drink
Even though qualifying as a microbrewery requires a 15,000-barrel production level, there are legions of devoted homebrewers who merely wish to satisfy their hoppy curiosity. But when does one cease to be an amateur brewer and morph into a seasoned craftsman?
At some point in the life of every homebrewer, the training wheels must come off. When you’re prepared to exercise complete control over the color, body, strength, flavor profile and mouthfeel of your beer, it’s time to ditch the malt extract and say hello to the next phase.
Enter the art of all-grain brewing. Many have been too intimidated to face this challenge, but fear not, young malthoppers. We will mill, mash, lauter, and sparge a five-gallon batch of homebrew together. Our hands-on guide to the ins and outs and dos and don’ts of all-grain brewing will answer your questions and slay your inner devil’s advocate.
Note: Previous experience with extract brewing is super strongly highly recommended!
