---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:15:04 +0000 (UTC) From: Althelion at comcast.net Subject: No-Sparge Mash and Final Gravity As summer started to fade, I began brewing a few darker, stronger beers for the fall and winter. I decided to employ the no-sparge technique in order to intensify the malt flavor and aroma. I strongly suggest doing a no-sparge for brown ales; scotch ales; etc. I really notice a greater malt flavor compared to my usually fly-sparged mash beers. It seems that another effect of using no-sparge is a greater attenuation as reflected in the final gravity readings. Nothing earth shattering - maybe 5 - 7 points lower. Has anyone else noticed this correlation between a no-sparge mash and greater attenuation? Is there any literature on this topic? Alan Pearlstein Commerce Township, MI Return to table of contents
