I always thought when you mash for an hour you do not want to disturb the grain bed. With using a rims or Herms system you aren't letting it settle. Am I wrong in my thinking?

Yes, I didn't taste it.

I've never tasted beer with that final gravity, that is why I'm looking for input.

Based on info from Wyeast, the yeast I used only works up to 11%, which is roughly what it is, so that yeast is finished.

So my question now remains do I leave it with a 1.050 final gravity or add the above mentioned yeast and try to lower it?

I'm seeing that the safale 05 will only go up to 12 % which is not far from where I'm at now

Will using a different yeast strain affect the flavor of the beer?

Yes thats it!!! THANK YOU.

I guess the question is...when I hook the co2 up to the sanke coupler it forces co2 in and beer out the the beer line... I thought there would be a design so I can shut it off and now have beer come out the line so I can switch between a tower or picnic tap.... The only way I can get the beer...

I have not found the exact answer I'm looking for in the forum. Everyone posts the dissable/assemble youtube video. I have no problem performing that step. I want to add homebrew to the 15.5 gal sanke keg. Assuming everything is clean and ready to fill, what are the steps to add my...

Why would anyone batch sparge if fly sparging is as simple as controlling the flow rate and water in equals water out?
