Well, long story short, I use a homemade double bucket lauter tun (2 nested buckets, inner drilled w/ a million 1/8" holes, outer with a spigot). Has worked OK on recipes with a lot of 6 row. Didn't do so hot on my last Light - got stuck a couple times... Flaked maize gets gooey like.
So, tonight, I decide I gotta make some quick brew to get by on while the good stuff conditions. I used 5 lb 2 row pale, 1 lb 6 row pale, and 2 lb flaked maize.
I just sat my inner bucket over the boil pot, and dipped the grain by the quart into it and let 'er run into the boil pot. Didn't feel like catching the wort until it cleared, and recycling thru the grain once the filter bed was established.
After it settled down and quit, I "sparged" (rinsed) it with about 1.5 - 2 gal of 190 deg water. took about 5 min to do that (not usual hour like when really sparging).
Will take gravity in the morning.
Reckon it'll be worth a dang? (in spite of the recipe!)
PS grain didn't taste terribly sweet, but was better tasting (sweeter I guess) than other batches I've done (this is only 4th or 5th all grain).
