Extract versus full mash |

| "When you think about it, using extract is pretty similar to the way that zoigl beer is made in that the brewery only produces a wort that is transported to the stube for yeast pitching and fermentation/lagering." I'd have to disagree with you there in that it's the process that makes the difference not the location the wort is made. Zoigl, I assume, is made using wort from an all grain mash and so it is very different than using extract because the process of making extract from liquid wort is gone. And much like the pelletizing hops discussion in another thread here I think that the process of creating the extract does impact the quality or at least change the end result. I have heard from some extract homebrewers that the quality of extract available these days is better than it used to be though. |
