There’s also underletting (I think) where you keep the malt pipe out and put all the malt in it and then put the pipe and malt in as one. Not sure what the advantage of this technique would be :confused.: .

I liked this one too. Beginning to think I like higher ABV beers. Right time of year for it 🙂
