And not just on the internet.  Brewing books are very much like that, too.  Like I said in the article I wrote for Marshall, too many authors simply parrot the conventional wisdom without trying things for themselves.  Just because it's in a book doesn't necessarily mean it's true.

Denny I just read your article and agree with every word. Where's the thumbs up icon?

Also liked the batch sparge article. Have you tried combining no sparge brewing with an overnight mash? Saves a hell of a lot of time. It works for me and makes me wonder who thought up the dubious liquor to grist ratio rules.
