    Spinning fly sparge is awful!

    It's hard to tell if you are mocking me. But it's working pretty well. Our first batch was OK. Dry, weak body Second, pretty decent, malty, under carbed, needs adjustment Our third was easily within the realm of tasty IPA's out there (however I assume those are the easier beers to make since...

    Spinning fly sparge is awful!

    Yeah, actually part of the blurring was so i wasn't mocked about using "incorrect" grain or hops for a style. Simply to show what I was doing to keep things accurate. I grew up around Lower Burrell, New Kensington. I know the area pretty well. In fact, when I was young I'm sure I played many...

    Spinning fly sparge is awful!

    Well certainly hold back tips if you want, but I will take all the input people are willing to give. Then hopefully I use that information to make a living. I'm sure my recipes are not that special now, but in time they may be. If you want to cut me down that's fine. However, I'm always in...

    Spinning fly sparge is awful!

    Hmm from pittsburgh huh? I've been checking out "east end brewing company", that guy seems to be having a good time starting his own brewery. So it's certainly not impossible. Where i'm at, there is a rising interest in craft brewing and a brewpub doing quite well already.

    Spinning fly sparge is awful!

    Ah Locline! I saw a photo of someone using that and couldn't figure out what it was called. I will definitely try that out. Eh, I spend time and effort on the recipes, someday I hope to open a brewery and would rather not hand them out.

    Spinning fly sparge is awful!

    I can appreciate your undying support of the spinning sparge arm; I don't doubt that you've used it successfully for years. I also know that if I vorlauf through it, and it clogs, it's obviously my fault. However, I was hoping for (and certainly got a few) better solutions, even ones that can...

    Spinning fly sparge is awful!

    I'm using a 15g boilermaker for the mash tun. So it's round. I like the hose idea, however I don't want to create any mash-disturbing water flow, such as a whirlpool. A whirlpool may cause the sparge water to take the path of least resistance and flow to the edges leaving the center of the grain...

    Spinning fly sparge is awful!

    Hello Everyone. This is about that silly spinning whirligig called a fly sparge arm. Since October 2nd, my friend and I have brewed six 10gallon batches of beer. Each time, it's always something with that ridiculous contraption. I'd like to see what others are using aside from the copper...

    Thanks for the quick answers last time. Sorry but it's long winded, I'm going into my 4th brew and this has bothered me. First of all. Maybe it's just me, but most descriptions and videos make it seem like you should be running a fly sparge arm for the duration of your sparge. This doesn't seem...
