oxidation risk with batch sparging
DrewG:
Theres an archived episode of Brewstrong with Dr Charles Bamforth from UC Davis on HSA. The jist of it is it's not something homebrewers need to worry about.

Yes, he says almost all of it can be corrected with a good healthy fermetnation. He said there are many more things on the cold side to worry about and get under control before we should worry about HSA.

I've found anything that man has to say about brewing is worth listening to. A wealth of information and he's entertaining as hell. I downloaded an audiobook of his from audible that was great. He's done a couple of Beersmith podcasts as well, mashing and beerfoam if I remember.

He did the podcast on diacetyl, too. Didn't realize he was on the Beerfoam one. I'll be downloading that one to listen to on the ride home.

I've batch sparged over 420 batches. If oxidation was an issue, I would have noticed it by now and changed my technique. When BYO published that article, there was a firestorm over on the NB forum with people challenging the article. The other thing to keep in mind is that the guy who wrote the article had never batch sparged, so he had no empirical evidence. Book learnin' is great, but real life experience trumps it every time.
