Tasting: | I'm using a RIMS system and keeping the mash stirred. This along with lowering the Ph of sparge liquor and mash keep efficiency very high. This was an excellent well balanced year round quaffing ale served on a nitro blend. Didn't use the RO filtered water last time. It should be even better this time around. |
