Yeah, Denny's one of our special crackpots ;-)

Seriously, you can listen to Denny - he does know his stuff and is very
generous in sharing on this forum.

Having said that - experience is the best teacher, and brewing and
experimenting a lot will help you figure out what works best for your
brewery. Don't just take what someone says here (or at your local brew
shop) without trying things out for yourself.

There are some fundamentals that seem to apply everywhere and get
universal support from experienced brewers, but still there are lots of
things that experienced brewers disagree on, and that's OK. Everyone's
brewery is unique and really, we never stop learning about this amazing
hobby.

Cheers!
