I've been doing kits a couple of years now and like the thought of moving on to extract brewing and AG brewing. Therre are 2 problems.
The first being I would need to buy the kit. I've asked on her ea couple of times what the minimum you need is but not really had a proper answer. How big a pot or boiler would I need to move to extract brewing? How much will I have to spend?
The second is doing a kit is fairly quick and simple with the worst part being all the cleaning and steralising (there is a thread on worst part of brewing where most people said this that I saw). If I go on to extract brewing I understand it will take about an hour longer. Is that right? Although the idea of producing your own beer I'm not sure I can be arsed with that and the wife complaining of the smell....or I will be forced into the garage with a camping gas stove.
And how long does it take for AG brewing? All day?
So come on guys, try to persuade me its worth it! I do like the idea of creating my own beers.
