Hello!
I fully realize that with this post I am opening the gates of Hell and sticking my foot in to keep them open, but I just have to know.
I googled and have searched this forum for a SCIENTIFIC, FACTUAL explanation of the differences between fly sparging and batch sparging and have found none.
I am quite new to AG (2 batches) and have used batch sparging with success. Although, all the books I've read don't really mention this technique and tend to favor the fly sparging technique for lautering. I am quite an adept of the old sayin "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.", but I am turning into a brewing maniac and want to do it the best way there is.
So, my question is: "What is the difference, IN RESULTS, between fly sparging and batch sparging?"
PLEASE, back up your post with EVIDENCE so that this thread doesn't turn into an all out war. :fro:
Thank you!!
