Ever done all grain or just straight extract? Cheers!

..I never have, but I hear it was one of the originals, before hops became the standard way of making beer. For me my interest in beer-making started a few years back when my wife bought a decorative hop plant then followed the "non - decorative" varieties which of course seemed a real waste not to use once they had flowered....

I love that you grow your own hops! That is awesome.
