  Nice! Thanks for sharing. As I said before, I really have limited experience with honey malt,
  but BM's recipe and feedback make me want to try it out in some hoppier beers. Cheers!

  I have limited experience with honey malt (maybe one or two batches using it), but it would add
  some sweetness for sure. It might complement the Munich nicely, but the beer would be sweeter -

  To me, it has a resiny, herbal/floral/spicy flavor and aroma. Sources say it's similar to
  Northern Brewer, but I've never used NB so I can't confirm that notion. I DO know that I
  enjoyed the all Nugge...

  Definetly give it a shot! This was a great, malty IPA, and I think your recipe looks solid.
  Since you aren't doing a FWH, I think cutting back on the bittering hops is a good move.
  Increasing the dry ...

  In my experience, I have to get the sparge water up to at least 190 to get the grain bed up to
  167ish. I tend to go 185-190 as I'd rather end up getting a little under 170 than over. I went
  with 195-2...

  Well, it's OBVIOUSLY been a while, but I just wanted to report back that I got it to work! I
  chopped off the connector at the end of the pump cord, stripped back the wires, spliced it to a
  a 230 v cor...

  I've heard from others that out of the keg, Hopslam is not quite as good. It doesn't "pop" as
  much with the hops, apparently. Myself, I only had it on draft this year and it was smooth, but
  lacking in...

  +1 on 2 sparge additions adding nothing to efficiency. I've done it both ways, and the
  efficiency gain with 2 sparge additions has been no better than 3%. Is 3% worth the extra time
  and effort of spli...

  Cool, thanks for clarifying. I may try just building a wooden base and then constructing the
  sides and top out of foam board (including the door/opening) to save on material cost and
  labor. But who kn...
