Sugar vs more malt

[Tanglefoot]

I’m curious, if you’ve stopped sparging altogether do you have a massive mash tun or are you just collecting half the wort?

Likely he just adjusts the grain bill up slightly to compensate.

Ah yeah fair enough, this wouldn’t be an issue with normal strength beer, I think k I’ve spent too long making stupid strength imperials lol

G'day Monkhouse, I brew with a Braumeister so stopping fly sparging was no big deal I just correct the final volume up to what I want at the start of the boil with boiled RO. There are a number of people I listen to carefully both here and on facebook stopping using sugar and not sparging idea was from them. I'm also starting to make lower ABV beers +/-4.5%. Everyone seems to use an app or a computer program to make beer, I use a pencil and my taste buds (I do use Brun Water) - Cheers scomet
