Hi
Gonna build a hop strainer, buy a chiller, use up a couple of kits, then I'm ready to go extract.
I want to use the kits first, so that shoudl take me through to mid feb/march. I want to get ready though so I can start as soon as i've got my FVs empty.
Questions:
What is the difference between Extract and Partial mash brewing?
Is spray malt, or liquid malt extract, best to use for extract brewing? Or is there no definitive answer, with it depending on the quality whatever i buy?
I know both are expensive, so whichever i use i will be buying bulk if possible. Can anyone see any problems with buying this in bulk, as I will not be able to use it all up straight away. Do they spoil quickly?
More questions will doubtless follow once i get started, but i just want to get prepared, research, and make sure i have decent ingredients at sensible prices before i start.
cheers
