So I am reading Noonan's New Lager Brewing, and in the sparging section he states (from memory) that excessive vorlauf (what I read as recirculation) can lead to a major loss of body and a significant increase in unwanted compounds such as lipids.
I have heard of this before, but never in a context with any scientific backup. Now this has me worried that a continuous recirculation during a mash may not be a good way to go. Does anyone have an opinion either way. I would like to get a bit more of the science behind this.
I have to re-read that section tonight.
