Ferment on the grain is where you don't drain after mashing.
Top tip. Keep punching it down. The gas gets underneath and lifts it out.
Not a brew for the feint hearted, but gives good results.

Oh sorry Mash, I know the difference in terms of what you do.......my question is more ‘ what’s the advantage of one over the other ?

Mashing is a messy affair.. Leaving the grain in is cleaner /easier.
Flavour is also far more complex on the grain.
