  The yeast worked out really well. I used it to brew and was able to pull samples out of the
  batch to use in the next batch. I brewed 4 or 5 batches (5 gal) with this yeast and was very
  happy with it.F...

  why worry so much about efficiency? Efficiency numbers are the most overrated, useless, pos
  statistics in brewing. Just buy more grains...problems solved! I think I just split the
  atom!!!This guy has ...

  maybe the mash half then heat up and mash the other half is a form of Decoction? sure I like
  it though. I've gotten the best efficiencies with fly sparge (or I even tried a modified fly

  LHBS but that crus...

  I've got my Two Hearted Ale slurry volume ready for pitching. I'm going to run over to the LHBS

  I think I'll wait to step up my volumes. This has been a healthy exercise of self evaluation

  I see your point. I guess it starts out with "I wish I could boil 10 gallons"...+1 Randar, I
