I've tried the mini mash that is suggested by the LODO fellows, and didn't care for it. My years working in wine have taught me that meta isn't particularly useful at higher ph's. My experience with microbreweries tell me that the lodo principles preached and practiced here are not accepted, applied or respected by most professionals making the beer we admire and attempt to emulate and my experience here has found the delivery of Bryans message is snarky, condescending, dismissive, rude, and in this threads case, unhelpful.
An example that the Bryan could follow is that of Denny and batch sparging. Denny has a brewing method/technique that he came up with and innovated in a quest to make better beer. He fully believes in it, and has proven to himself and others that it is an effective method, and I have never once seen Denny refer to a fly sparger or BIAB brewer as amateurish or wrong or stating that they must just prefer brewing poorly for not adhering to his methods. He vocally advocates for his methods while still maintaining a respectful and open minded tone. Its just basic social skills really.
