  I'm in my third (and fourth) batch using this method and liking it!Two questions: how do you
  guys draw samples? If I pull from the liquid out in a sanke or corny all I get is yeast and

  I used to nochill and primary in same keg and then transfer under pressure to next keg which

  body and flavor seem...

  I suppose bottling bucket/wand makes the most sense. Bottles received the usual treatment
  (Oxyclean soak, bottlebrush scrub, soak/dunk/rinse with Onestep).I guess I was just curious

  I've been kegging all of my batches for the last few years and haven't experienced any
  indication of infection. Lately I've been brewing 6 gallon batches and bottling what doesn't

  Any good suggestions for cleaning/sanatizing large diameter tubes as in picture four?

  That's a LOT of crystal, and not much bittering. That is why the beer tastes sweet.That did not
  occur to me, I'm pretty new at recipe formulation, so I appreciate you bringing it up.Regarding

  Mash temp could be a factor, I was shooting for 154, my usual temp.
