Hi All,
Was doing a bit of browsing on the BeerTools site, contemplating purchase of BeerTools pro. Came across the above article. I don't think it has been discussed here yet -- it appears to have been posted about a month ago.
I won't quote the article, you can read it youself (link below). In summary, he suggests three views that run counter to 'proven wisdom':
1) Don't first wort hop -- First addition no sooner than after 10 mins vigorous boil
2) Step mashing -- For todays highly modified malts, a 20 min mash is probably sufficient (and less is more)
3) Don't aerate your wort -- OK for yeast starters, but go easy
I found it an interesting read and thought it was worth a post. Might generate some interesting discussion...
Cheers, Brian
