Brewing Grains

Brewing grains are grains that can be converted from starches into sugars by the process known as "mashing". These sugars take the place of malt extract in brewing. Mashing (all-grain brewing) requires some additional equipment and temperature control in the brewing process. It's not hard, and if you are currently an extract brewer, you may find it worth trying. It is also much less expensive to brew from grains. Let us know if you need any help getting started!
