Okay im a little confused on batch sparging vs. infusion sparding. I'd try and do research right now but im at work and should be doing a report lol. Do I have this right, batch sparging would just be simply after adding the strike water to the grain, let it sit and then drain to be boiled, as...

First batch of beer is conditioning in the bottle and 1 week away from being ready and I have officially caught the bug and have grandiose plans for brewing. To let you know where im at I did my first extract kit approx 2 months ago (bottle conditioning now) and have a caribou slobber kit from...

Okay thanks everyone. I have no problem pouring it I was just curious. This leads me to another question, obviously microbrews that sell commercially do not have this problem. How do they avoid it?

Okay I have a quick question. I have just purchased a 2 stage fermenter starter kit and I am about to start my first brew with an extract kit. I have noticed that the instructions say at the end when you open a beer that there will be dead yeast at the bottom of the bottle and you will need to...
