I wouldn't believe everything that you hear in your LHBS. Mine told me that I should be getting way over 75% efficiency batch sparging from a Thermos coolbox and 10g brews were easily done from it using the batch sparge method (not impossible but you'd get a much lower efficiency than his way over-estimated 75%+ efficiency) and when I asked him for some Whirlfloc tablets he said "What are them?". I was speechless. I know, that's AG stuff and not kit stuff but the way he put it across he made it sound like his advice was gospel when in practice, I know he's wrong.

Abbey?

Yes. I gather you have experience. I know he means well and he's nearby should I need emergency supplies and it's good to have a nearby shop when they are so rare but I find his arrogance a bit of a problem. I'm sure he doesn't mean to come across in this manner but he does and I'll only shop there in extreme emergencies.

Yes, I will also only go there if I urgently need something that day - which is almost never these days. Same goes for Brew King in Bradford.
