Good Day everyone:
I will be doing a partial mash recipe for the first time this weekend and I have a couple of questions that I am sure that you can help me with. I will be doing this on my kitchen using a couple of BKs.
I have a question about Mash out and one about sparging.
About Mashout: Is there any benefit to doing a mashout for 10 to 15 minutes between 160-170F after conversion and before placing the grain bag in the sparge water?
About Sparging: Would there be any reason to fiilter the initial wort through the grains again (say the grain bag was sitting in a strainer above the sparge water that you soaked the grains in for 10 minutes) when adding to your sparge? Would the risk of hot-side aeration outway an increase in efficiency?
