On all of my AG brews so far (4) I've heated my sparge water to 170 then added it to the tun. I believe I got this number from Palmer and he states that anything higher could release tanins.
I recently took the time to learn how to use BrewTarget properly and entered in my setup. When I use the mash wiz in that software it tells me that I need to heat the water to something like 189 to achieve a sparge temp of 170.
So which is it? Achieve a temp of 170 with hotter water added to the mash? Or, just put 170 degree water in?
