After many months of being a 'guest' on your forum, I would like to thank you all for the information you have provided from your archived posts.
Located in rural NB, near Moncton, and brewing into bottles using extracts, hops, and a twenty year old, well worn, copy of Papazian. Wrestling with 5 gal carboys was becoming too difficult so the switch to kegs was finally implemented last year and the search for more knowledge began. - it is time to begin all grain brewing.
Bought a Grainfather in November and have used it for several extract/steeped grains brews then tried 2 small 3 gal SMASH last weekend as this seemed the best way to learn AG. Expecting it will take a long time and lots of advice to master the basics of the craft. Hope to benifit from your knowledge and experience.
