From Midwest Supplies website - http://www.midwestsupplies.com/batch-sparging-vs-fly-sparging.html "In the past, brewers stayed away from batch sparging because the efficiency rate was lower compared to fly sparging. Today’s grains are modified specifically for brewing, and they do not...

My most recent American Wheat had a similar issue. I only fermented for 8 days total, and then put it right in the keg. A week later I figured it was carbed enough to taste. Yes, it tasted hot and had a bit of a funny aftertaste. Oh, well. I let it sit for another week in the keg under...

Next Saturday I'll be brewing a Mosaic American Pale - recipe that my friend Lyle and I designed. 95% Maris Otter, 5% Cara-Pils/Dextrine, 1.050 with S-05. Using Nugget for the bittering addition. It started out as a SMaSH, but we tweaked it after reading on HBT that early additions with Mosaic...

I'm doing the Big Climb for Leukemia Lymphoma Society. 69 floors, 1311 steps, 788 feet vertical elevation. I have a friend with leukemia and I'm climbing for her. If anyone feels like making a donation I'd certainly appreciate it...

Got some stainless camlocks and 1# of Mosaic hop pellets.

Another thought - as the number of ball lock kegs in the marketplace has diminished the price has gone up. My kegs are an appreciating asset! At least that's what I tell SWMBO. :mug:

i see this dude advertising on CL all the time, offered him $50/ea for 10 ball lock cornys a while back (he was asking $60/ea at that time) and he said no. now he's at $50/ea since then i have acquired a dozen or so through different sources, mostly CL. i don't need any more right now...

When (if?) I ever become a "good" brewer - I'll let you know. Always learning, adjusting process, recipes, etc... My beer ain't bad, local craft brewers and BJCP judges have tasted it and said it was good - but it will always have room for improvement.

We're making "craft beer", right? Why not put some effort in to make it just as "crafty" as it can be. Every little extra bit of effort you make will produce a "just that much better" result. :mug:

Right now my lineup is - 1. West Coast IPA 2. American Wheat 3. Oatmeal Stout 4. Semi-dry Cider

I use gelatin in all of my beers, excluding wheat beers. I think it adds a "sparkle" to the beer, even stouts.

^^^^^ That's some good advice right there!

Congrats on the win and thanks for the update!

If you believe in 99% efficiency I have a bridge I can let you have for a steal. :ban:

American style wheat beer tomorrow for SWMBO. Still fun!

World of Beers will make your head spin. Like 60 taps and hundreds of bottles. I didn't think Sweetwater or Moon River were worth a crap. YMMV
