Beer Recipe of the WeekThis is a nice and easy recipe if you want to try making an all grain beer. To keep your costs down, you can use a colander. I have one that has small holes and it works great for straining the grains. The hardest thing is crushing the grain. I bought a Corona crusher and it works fine, but is a real pain when doing 10 or more pounds.( I hand crank, seems more authentic.)

If you haven't tried mashing yet, you really should. You can start small and grow as equipment and funds permit. Also, by starting small, you don't have a large sum invested in equipment if you decide mashing isn't for you. | ||||||
