Four basic brewing techniques for the Home Brewer.

1) 'Pre-Blended Malt', This is pre-made base malt. The barley has been converted from starch to fermentable sugar. These extracts will already have the hops cooked in and specialty grain flavor and color added. These malts do not require cooking, then malt house or brewery has done this step. You can add to these pre-blended malts to create a beer to your taste. The beer is very good for the beginning brewer with no skill level.

2) 'Extract' recipes, Most base malt extracts are just that, "Base malt" only, and they do require cooking.

An extract kit will have the base malt with the hops (1-4) and the specialty grains (normally only 3/4 Lb. )separate. The brewer will steep the small amount of grain and then cook the base malt and hops into a recipe style picked. Most extract recipes will be 2 gallons to 2-1/2 gallons boil for an hour and easy cooled in an kitchen sink. These recipes really let the brewer learn about all the ingredients and experience the ground level of craft brewing. It is very easy to create a recipe of your own using this technique very quickly. These types of recipes are relatively easy and required little or no previous skill. (if you can boil water)

3) 'Partial Mash' recipes, Will have the base malt extract with the specialty grains and hops that will need to be cooked. But, not all the base malt is from extract. A portion of the base malt is in grain form. A recipe may have 3-5 pounds of grain along with the specialty grain. The base grain malt must then be 'Mashed' to convert the starch to sugars, then slowly rinsed. Because the amount of grain is larger, a large container is needed for the grain. This is called a 'Mash Tun'. A small mash tun is used for this method. These two procedures can take up to or more than two hours. Then the extract malt is added to the grain water and the boil is started. Most 'Partial Mash' recipes can be done in the same size brew kettle as the extract recipes. Thus 'Partial Mash is still, stove top. Most 'Partial Mash' recipes will be 2-1/2 gal to 3 gallons boil and easy cooled in an kitchen sink.

These types of recipes require a little more time and a little more equipment. The results in Partial Mash brewing is the ability to create a beer closer to your style. A more defined taste of the malts and hops are also present.

4) 'All Grain' recipes, are just as the name says, 'All Grain'. This means that the complete base malt comes from the grain and 90-95 % of the brewing sugars come from the grain. Because the amount of grain is much larger (10-18 pounds) the size of the container is much larger to do the mash. The mash tun may be 5 to 10 gallons in size. Also, because we are not using extract and all the sugars are being removed from the grains, the boil is larger. Most all 5 gallon 'All Grain' recipes for will start at 6 to 6-1/2 gallons. A much larger brew kettle is needed at 8 to 10 gallons for an 5 gallon batch. All grain brewing requires a skill level, that may not be for all brewers.

Although the equipment and time for "All Grain" brewing is a much higher skill level. The results in 'All Grain' brewing is the ability to create a beer to style, the ability to more closely define the taste of the malts and copy exactly or almost exactly a beer as it was made in a brewery.

To create a beer with a distingue flavor from Extract Brewing and Partial Mash Brewing is not only satisfying, but will far exceed your expectations about 'Craft beer home brewing'.
