Hi I have a couple of comments that should help improve your beer processing. Before I make these I want the readers to know that I have made the same these changes myself as I used to do the same things shown here in the tutorial. When transferring your wert all ways transfer through a hose to the bottom of the next vessel being used in the process as oxidization occurs to any wert over 80F I see pictures with free falling wert from the sparge. Two the haze being described might just be protein if that is the case then add Irish moss during the last 15 min. of boil this will break down the proteins. Three adding time during the scarification will not help if the temperatures are not right check you temp and use Iodine test to make sure of full sugar conversion before stating sparge. Always run a quart or two of first run wert and then add it back to the grain bed this clears the grain debris from your wert if you boil wert this has not been done to you will bitter your wert from the husks etc that are in the first run. lastly to increase the sg and keep your volume right you need to increase your grain bill. Extra sparging will bring bitter flavors out of your grain the only way I know how to get a higher sg is to lengthen the boil time to keep the right volume you will need to collect more sweet wert. Seeing this brings back fond memories of when I started and thought my brew was the best in the west. After I came in contact with a few people that were accredited and asked them to taste my beer and give critical comment and make suggestion for improvement. They did this and I listened and have improved I still have a way to go before I win any awards but the critical comment is now on the up swing and with experience and method improvement my brews have improved dramatically.
