I am getting ready to do my second AG brew. The first one was a IIPA with apparent low efficiency as the OG was significanlty lower than predicted. I'm starting to question my batch sparge method after further reading.
I got my water volumes from BrewPal for 18.16lb of grain. I mashed in with 6.5 gallons at 152* for 1 hour, vorlaufed, took first runnings, then I added 2.5 gallons of 185* sparge water for 15 minutes, vorlaufed, took the sparge/second runnings(?) and boiled.
Did I do this batch sparge correctly? I understand that my crush contributes to efficiency but right now am focusing on what I can control currently (don't have my own mill.....yet!).
