I'm working on my first AG brew ( Stone Pale Ale clone) and am having a hard time understanding the sparge steps its listing. Under the "Mash Profile" I have selected "Single Infusion, Full Body, Batch Sparge".
Mash In- Add 14.45qt water at 171.6F
My steep temp is 156 for 45 min. Its telling me to "Batch sparge with 4 steps (Drain mash tun, 1.60gal, 1.60gal, 1.60gal) of 168".
I've educated myself using this site and Youtube, and have not seen or heard of three separate sparges. If this is correct, would I just sparge, stir, drain with each 1.60gal? Could I do just one sparge at 168 with 4.8 gal or is the software picking up something that I'm not noticing?
