Ok... my buddy and I are brewing an IPA next week and breaking in my newly constructed A/G equipment.
We'll be batch sparging and sparging calculators are estimating we'll need about 4.25 gallons of sparge water. Ok... but, my mash tun is a 10 gallon round cooler, so I have the capacity to hold ALL of the sparge water and grains during the batch sparge. Is it better to do the batch sparge all at once? Or, better to divide the 4.25 gallons sparge water in half and do two smaller batch sparges?
