I have yet to do all-grain. I have everything except for the sparge arm. I have seen in some videos where the brewer just uses a colander to "sprinkle" the sparge water. Seems like a very simple way to brew. Correct me if I am wrong.
1. Heat up the quanity of water to appropiate the apprpiate temp . 155 degrees for example
2. Pour mash water into mash tun
3. Dump in grains stirring as you dump
4. Close lid and let it mash for called recipe time,,,60-90 mins
5. Pour some wort into pitcher dump it back into tun, keep up this process until wort runs clean about 3 times
6. Run sparge water over bed of grain and start to dump wort into boil pot until you have thr 6-6 1/2 gallons.
7. The rest of the boil is a piece of cake.
