I'm doing my first all grain today - an Anchor Porter clone. It has about 13.5lbs. of grain for this 5 gallon recipie. I was going to mash with 16 quarts and I plan on batch sparging. For 7 gallons into the kettle, I figure this leaves about 4.8 gallons to sparge with. Should I:
A) drain all the sweet wort from the MLT into the kettle before adding any sparge water, then do two sparges of 2.4 gallons each
B) add about 1.2 gallons to the MLT, then drain, then add the remaining 3.6 gallons of sparge water and drain again.
C) something else???
I thought I had this figured out before hand, but I'm starting to doubt myself...
Thanks!!
