So last night was the first time I had ever bottled up a batch (Nut Brown Ale) and then started brewing a new batch. It was definately a busy night and I didn't slip into bed until 11 pm. A friend of mine brought over one of those True Brew Homebrew Kits. It was a Canadian Ale version. I happened to have some pale ale malt lying around so I decided to toast a half pound and steep it before bringing the rest to a boil. I'm hoping it turns out decent. I'm calling this brew The Toasted Canuck.

Sounds good.    Although I usually do all grain I like making an extract batch occasionally.  Regardless, brewing & bottling in the same day definitely makes for a busy day.

Happy Brewing,

I haven't taken the plunge into all grain yet. I'm going to get one or two more extract or partial mash before i make the switch. Plus i still need a cooler valve, an 8 gallon brewpot, and a propane burner.

Extract is fun and quick. Makes good beer too.

Going all grain is easy. Then the real learning begins...

I'm really excited to start all grain brewing and I've been reading up on the process for a few months now just to prepare myself for the first all grain brew day. It also really helps to have a resource like this forum.

Going all grain will certainly add a new depth and dimension to your brewing!
