So i have been doing BIAB (brew in a bag) for awhile now. Usually the only sparging I do is 170F fresh water. Quute often ill end up with some amount of husk material in my wort.
Today I brewed a n American Amber ale. I decided on the fly to try a sparge, with something i just thought of. After the mash I placed my grain bag on my caulendar as usual. This time I siphoned water out if the brew kettle into a 1 gallon container then set the container on a shelf and siphoned back over the grain bag. Got pretty good at keeping the siphoning hose full after a few times. The wort really cleaned up after a few gallons. I did this for awhile then used my 170F water at the end. Does anyone else do this?
