Just picked up my Grains/Yeast and will be brewing a RYE PA. Super excited!!
I'd suggest you get EVERYTHING prepped & labeled ahead of time so you can focus on the new process. Made my switch much less stressful!

give yourself plenty of time... good luck
I don't batch sparge but I believe that the consensus is stir like a mad man, let settle, vorlauf, empty, repeat.
Yes and it's always improving. My line is that this batch (whatever it is) is gonna be my best yet. Cheers and have a great holiday.
So, if my calculations are correct my efficiency was only about 58%
I did an Imperial Rye PA a few weeks ago and had almost the exact same results (I'm also very new to AG). I bought some equipment to fly sparge a couple nights ago then did a very similar recipe last night (tweaked my original for taste) and ended up with a brewhouse efficiency of around 75%.
I also crushed my rye twice based on a recommendation. It made up about 25% of my grain bill, so I was a little concerned about getting a stuck sparge, but the rice hulls did their job nicely.
Thanks for the tip!!! I really think not stirring my batch sparge was to blame. How did the beer turn out? Did you try it yet?
