I do fly sparge. I try to go slow it took around 30 minutes

Cool I'll post when I'm in the planning stage

I appreciate that a lot thank you.

Before sorry

I can't find out why my gravity is always 1.020 or in that ball park leaving my beers at like 2%. I use distilled water, have a filter instead of a false bottom(could that be it) my Temps have been right on the money. I can't figure it out and it's driving me nuts. Just kegged today after...
