Yea, I'm digging up an old thread. Although, there isn't much out there on this beer, so I figured I would add some notes to this thread (for the next time I google clones of this brew...)
I'm looking to brew this for the wifey, so I am doing some research. The spreadhsheet that Sagan...
I'd say no, they're not recirculating since they're using gravity.
