Easy Brewing

Seriously, I had forgotten how EASY it is to brew an extract brew

I did the extract brew with the class on Wednesday.  It was a bit uncomfortable, tossing ice in the wort and everything. (also, the recipe from the White House was not well written...)

On Sunday I did it again. Because if I only have 50 bottles to share amongst 10 students, that's not very fulfilling for them.

It took under 2 hours.

In and out, cleaned up and done. WOW.

Basic Brewing talks about an extract pale ale that they do while mashing in an all-grain. Maybe I should give it a try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv82HsMN-hA

On the other hand, the ingredients cost $60, for what I could do as an all-grain for $20  So... there's that ;)
