Extract vs. All Grain Home Brewing - The Real Beer Wars

This is a video discussing the epic battle that is on Youtube right now between a few All Grain brewers and a few Extract brewers. There needs to be something more constructive produced that what is being produced right now!

if you think your taxes are bad, check out the prices of beer in Toronto, Ontario. A 24 of Heineken costs $45.95 CAD.

@onewireddrummer That is outrageous. That's why we all need to keep our thumbs on our governments to try to keep the taxing all of us into poverty to a minimum!

Great video about this debate. I didn't even know there was this debate until this morning. Wow everyone just needs to calm down and "Enjoy The Fruits Of There Labor and Brew Beer".

[tomroeder]

@sjporr Thanks! Lately the debate is mostly dead. There were a few people who were quite counter-productive to the hobby in my opinion with their comments and videos disparaging others. Lately it has been quiet though, luckily! Thanks for watching!

well said...thanks for helping out people wanting to learn...ive been brewing for years and years and done everything from can/bag, extract, mini mash, and all grain for the past few years...I've been very happy with all of them..but couldn't have gotten to all grain without learning the basics first....great video

@immolateus Thank you very much for the kind words. Brewing is great. It is a declaration of independence if you will, and I will never go back to buying all my beer at the store! Thanks for watching!

I like that,- "contributing to the hobby in a positive manor"

Well said, Well said. I agree 100%.. and you know what? Craig got me started as well, i started with coopers.. and simply coudln't get the results i wanted from extract, so over time i finaly moved to AG... but at the end of the day, i respect anyone for even daring to try and make their own beer!

Just about ready to make my first batch of brew. Starting out with the bag, malt extract ect. Have a keg setup and all the other goodies in place. Got a used fridge for $30.00 and plan to get some taps on the door. After I get the hang of it I plan to go with the all grain method. At the rate me and my sweety drink beer, I'll recover the cost in less than a year. Not being taxed to support things I tend to resist on a daily basis is a major inspiration. And I like good beer. Thanx for the post.

I agree with dorf basically. There are so many dif extracts out there (liquid or dry),extra light,light,amber,etc. Then so many dif yeast,& hops for dif flavor profiles,you can spend years exploring the possibilities. I call it "recombinant extract";not using kits,but,rather a piece from here,a piece from there,working to my own recipe. I did a lot of research before my 1st brew. Still do. The results are gunna be great,I guarantee. That's the fun of home brewing!!

I got 5 awards on my wall that proves that you can brew superior extract beer. I brew exclusively extract beer and have been for 12 years. all you need is to get the freshest extract possible, viable yeast, fresh hops(i grow my own, now thats fresh) and pure water, I have the best water in the country right out of tap.
