All-Extract Homebrewing

Brewing beer with malt extract is the starting point for most new homebrewers, and a great option for those with limited time, space, or money. All-Extract homebrewing requires minimal equipment and procedures while still producing quality, homebrewed beer.

All-Grain (Batch Sparge) Homebrewing

All-grain brewing is creating beer from only grains without the use of extracts as a source of fermentable sugars. An all-grain brew day using the batch sparge method requires additional steps and equipment, and is recommended for intermediate and advanced homebrewers.

All-Grain (Brew in a Bag) Homebrewing

The brew in a bag process allows for all-grain brewing at home but with minimal equipment and steps. This method is ideal for homebrewers looking to get familiar with the all-grain process or those looking for a minimalist all-grain setup.

Extract with Specialty Grains Homebrewing

Including specialty grains in your extract brew day allows for the ease of the all-extract brew day while getting the added flavors, aromas, and color of specialty grains, like crystal or chocolate malt. This process is a starting point for many new homebrewers, as well as a great option for a quick and easy brew day.
