__NOTOC__
==Extracts=='''Extracts ''' are concentrated [[wort solutions ]] made from [[mashing ]] grain [[Malt|malt]] and then removing a portion of the water to either concentrate it into a thick syrup or a dry powder. The main advantage of using extracts [[Extract Brewing]] instead of all-grain [[All Grain]] brewing is that it allows beginning and intermediate brewers to skip the [[mashing ]] and [[lautering ]] steps, and move straight into [[boiling their ]] the extract with [[hops]]. This cuts the total brew time by half or more. In addition, extract brewing can be done with much less equipment than the full all-grain process. The disadvantage of brewing with extracts is that the brewer does not have as much control over the composition and ingredients used as an all-grain brew.
