Indeed your efficiency
will be slightly less than fly sparging utilizing this method. Not really a
benefit per say, but no more or so less efficiency than batch sparging in
general. I have bumped my efficiency down from my normal fly sparging using
traditional methods of 78% back to about 74% or so.
This is no real deal to me anyway as anyone who knows Lonnie Mac, knows
that I can give a rat’s butt about efficiency! This ain’t a grain race
here; it’s about beer man!
