Mark, These days I am using a single vessel system (really 2 vessel as I have an urn I use to heat sparge water). I sparge with anywhere from 8L to about 14L, depending on the boil length of time, using water at 76C. When I had my 3V system I fly sparged and always acidified the sparge water...

That's a shame. You've certainly had some trouble with your brews over the short time you have been brewing. I remember you posting about the plastic taste in your first half dozen or so brews, I think you had used the wrong thread sealant or something similar. Then your ales all had a toffee...

BribieG, You're really good at looking stuff up on Google and passing the information onto AHB.

Wide eyed and legless, if you don't like it, you can **** off to Pomgolia anytime you like and stay there. You won't be missed.
