So say my mash calculator calls for 5 gallons sparge water. I see some people pour the entire thing in after 1st runnings, wait 10 mins, and proceed to vorlauf and they are done. Other people break it up into two, 2.5 gallon sparges.
Is there a difference? Also, isn't lifting 5 gallons of 185F water in a pot a major p.i.t.a.?
