OK, I've done two AG brews so far, but I never really concidered the mash out phase. I use a 10g cooler as the MLT and what I did was boil about a gallon of first runnings during vorlauf and pour it back just before I began sparging. I use a "Phils Sparger". However, I don't think this really raises the grain temp enough for a proper mash out. Should I instead, after mashing, pour everything in the kettle and heat to 170 and then pour back to the cooler and sparge?
