Score another for cloudy wort

No offense, and I’m sure your beers are great, but wow this sounds like a PITA of a brew day. Good on ya for toughing it out!

The “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset can be useful but it can also be a trap. It can blind a brewer to tweaks/improvements that make the brew day shorter, simpler, and overall more enjoyable, but importantly makes just as good beer.

+1. I used to try to get clear wort going into the kettle. After a while I started skipping that step and there has been no impact on the finished product.

my dirty secret is that i regularly do as low as 30 min boils for various beers i think i can manage that on.

It is a little extra clean up, but no big deal.
Our beers are consistently improving. But we feel it is the recipe as much as anything. Plus decades of experience is finally paying off.
Like a friend said…”It’s not the brewery, it’s the Brewmaster.”

“decades of experience”, “brewmaster”.

dude i missed you. glad youre back. are you able to brew in summer? i tend to give it a rest for Jun/Jul/Aug

We brew during all months of the year.

I actually got that quote from famed BBQ expert Harry Soo. He said it’s not the pit, it’s the Pitmaster. I just applied it to everyone here, as all forum members brew great beer!

Honestly, we have made improvements in the quality of our beer. But as stated, I think a large part of that is the recipes being used.
