First Runnings

[Garth]

First runnings is the first wort to hit the element in Bigster smurfs tenko brewery for the last half dozen brews.

Clarity and flavour even better than before - this may be due to OTT grain bill avoiding over sparging and a devil may care attitude to efficiency but who knows ( and more importantly cares )

I like it.....nice one B

This is the sort of stuff i love to hear im naturally lazy and like to think of myself as the working equivalent of electricity im always looking for the path of least resistance

I think a lot of concern has been created by the fact that Wheeler says that run offs should be 'bright', which, I think, people interpret as meaning 'clear'. I got really paranoid about getting clear run offs when I started brewing, but getting clear run offs has elluded me and I don't think my beer has suffered as a result (which is not to say it couldn't be improved in other areas)

He also said that if it wasn't, that it probably doesn't matter. I recirculate until there is no solid matter in the runnings and you can see it clearing (though not necessarily bright). A medium run off seems to work fine. Fast runoff less so.

Have you experinced any problems with fast runoffs, not being obtuse just wondering if you are just quoting wheeler or if you have actually had probs.

Okay just looked at that again his quote not yours
