I'm glad you were interested in the setup...I actually think it was a bit excessive and out of boredom to "film" it, but glad you were interested.The Bearded Brewerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272265527986943248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501361286897702641.post-60058181650496690482008-02-01T09:09:00.000-06:002008-02-01T09:09:00.000-06:00Great site. It's cool getting a peek at other people's setups. Thanks for the tour. I hope you don't mind me adding you to the link list on my blog.<BR/><BR/>Brian<BR/>nanobrewer.wordpress.comBrianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04907158323268318642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501361286897702641.post-88102673457228746582008-01-29T08:40:00.000-06:002008-01-29T08:40:00.000-06:00Kevin,<BR/>Orginally I went to partial mashing (after reading Randy Mosher's Radical Brewing...my bible) because I thought that eventually I might go full bore into all-grain. I might eventually since I'm enjoying aspects of it with partial mashing, it'd be a fairly easy step at this point. But after talking to a guy at my LHBS, I don't know how much more I'd gain at this point. But who knows, I can always be convinced to buy more toys and make the process more intricate.<BR/>Thanks for the feedback on the site. I love brewing, but I also just love beer and the beer culture. And I find myself addicted to blogging...so I gotta find stuff to talk about while the beers are conditioning:)<BR/>And I would like it to be more accessible, because to be honest I don't always know everything I'm doing and there's plenty of experts on the web about the finite details of brewing. <BR/>I enjoy your site as well and I've been meaning to add you to my links.<BR/>Salud!The Bearded Brewerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272265527986943248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501361286897702641.post-10935290214554444582008-01-28T21:51:00.000-06:002008-01-28T21:51:00.000-06:00I totally support extract or mini mash brewing. I think that any sort of brewing at all is good in that getting to the roots of what we consume makes us more conscious of what we buy when we buy. And having more consideration for what we're purchasing is never bad.<BR/><BR/>But I have gone over to the all grain side of the force. It was amazing. I think if someone is minimash brewing, it's very easy to go that extra step. Even on a gerry rigged crap ass system like the one I set up.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I love the blog. Integrating the brewpub and beer reviews makes it a little more open to non brewers who don't know, nor are they interested, in the difference between a lauter and a sparge.Kevin LaVoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03422429428826110381noreply@blogger.com
