Hi All,
I was going to be doing a batch sparge tomorrow and I was watching conflicting information on one part of it. When you drain after the mash:
A) Do you drain until all of the water is out of the mash tun and the drain runs dry, then add your sparge and drain completely again?
B) Do you drain until the level is at the grain bed, then add your sparge, THEN drain completely?
I have seen John Palmer drain his mash tun only till level with the grain bed, but I have seen others drain completely before the sparge.
Any advice?
