I have tried a few infusion, and step infusion mashes, along with recirculation and I am now going to reconfigure my brewery on a permanent but adaptable setup this weekend, I have received my parts and I'm going to tear it down and clean it and reassemble it. If the test afterwards goes well I am gonna brew next weekend.
On a good note, I used a yeast collected months ago, to make a starter for my octoberfest, and it worked beautifully, I have been collecting my yeast for quite awhile now, so I have plenty of 34/70, wlp001, and a few others, so my yeast bank is coming along very nicely
My next purchase is a malt mill, so I can mill my own, then I'm gonna start purchasing in bulk.
