If you are currently an extract brewer looking for an easy way to upgrade, But you aren't ready for ALL GRAIN yet, PARTIAL MASH is the answer! With this system you can get more than 50% of your fermentables from grain rather than just the malt extract. Substitute up to 4.5lbs of malt extract with 5.5 lbs of grain in a small compact system. The process is surprisingly simple and has received a lot of recent attention in magazines like Brew Your Own. Save money with this system in the following ways: 1. No need for disposable steeping bags for specialty grains, just add them to your partial mash ($1.00 per brew). 2. Whole base grains cost about $0.80 per lb instead of several dollars per lb. of extract. 3. Grain produces about 83% as much fermentable sugar per lb as extract Example: 3.3 lb can of malt extract is $10 to $13 the equivelent is 4 lbs of grain for approx $3.20 You make back the cost of this system in 5 batches!
