I have a question for everyone. How do you brew, and what can I do to brew better. I have made some pretty good beers, I have pretty much just started brewing I have made 6 batches. Two were really good one was ok... the others...sucked. I have a batch of brown ale carbonating in bottles that tastes pretty good. I am not really to sure if I am doing everything right. The sparging process I am not really sure about.
My Brew Method,
First I relax and have a homebrew, then I start the water boiling. For every batch besides the last brown ale I have put the grain in a picnic cooler and tried to acheive temperatures inside but found myself low at the end everytime.
The last brew I made I put all the grain into my one and only large pot and used the coolertun as a strainer back into the pot. Then I used hot water to rinse sugars out of grain. Then this is combined and everything goes according to recipe.
I guess what my question is, is: What is the best way to sparge grain when brewing on the 5 gallon scale.
Any suggestions what i could do to improve what I am doing.
