I did my first all grain yesterday. One thing I thought I needed to do was to sparge at the same rate as the runoff. The problem was with only 5 gal. of water the sparge arm would not rotate and it was difficult to get the rates the same and not have the grainbed go dry.
Should I have instead let it run off slowly but ran the sparge at regular intervals at a higher volume just to keep the water above the grainbed? Only at a high rate would the sparge arm spin.
What is the timing I should be shooting for with a 5 gal. batch? I figured about 20-30 minutes.
