    Efficiency with Fly-Sparge

    To the "What was your previous technique and what sort of efficiency were you getting?" I was an extract brewer, so my efficiency was pretty good :D Interesting, I never really considered this possibility, but I could see how that might happen. I will make a trip to the hardware store this...

    Efficiency with Fly-Sparge

    Kettle mash tun

    I have been brewing extract for a couple years now and am looking to get into all grain. I know I have to get a new pot. My first thought was to get a 10g with a false bottom which I could use as a mash tun, lauter to a bucket, then transfer back so I could do my boil in it. One thing I...
