I am brewing my first AG batch this weekend, and I have a question. I am brewing EdWort's popular haus pale ale...
After the 60 minute mash, it says to add 5qt of 175 degree water and begin vorlauf and drain the first runnings. This may be a stupid question, but when adding the 5qt of 175 degree water, should I pour it in gently so it doesn't disturb the grain bed and drain the first runnings immediately ----- or do I add, stir, and wait before draining the first runnings?
I know that when I add the sparge water, I have to stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes before vorlauf/draining the 2nd runnings.
Thanks!
