I've done quite a few kits now and have started modding them.
I've dry hopped, seeped malts added differnet fermentables and flavourings (like cocoa powder)
now with my last brew I boiled up some LME with some seeped crushed chocolate malt, cocoa powder and lactose and it got me wondering .I've now got well past the simple Wash and sterilise my gear and throw a kit in so how much extra time would it take to make All grain? Time is the only barrier Ican see to me making the move to A.G.
My brewdays at the moment are like this
Select, clean and sterlise brewing equipment ( 30-40 minutes)
Boil up additional ingredients and LME (30-40 minutes)
add everything to FV (10 minutes)
clean up equipment (10 minutes)
So about 1 hour 20-30ish.
Obviously theres more equipment to clean and a few more steps with AG so How much longer does an A.G brew on average?
