So I put my recipe into beersmith and I chose single infusion light body batch sparge for a dunkelweiss. 10 gallon circular cooler and about 10 lbs of grain
1) how well should I trust the strike temps beersmith gives me?
2)it gives me 3 batch sparge steps. should I just pour these in and wait for the wort to stop draining and then pour in the next volume of batch sparge water and repeat?
3) should I stir the mash?
4) how quickly should I pour in the initial water?
5) how quickly should I pour in the sparge water?
6) any further advice for a first time all grain brewer?
thank you.
