i am trying to figure out if i should use my lauter tun attatched to my sparge arm in the mash tun to sparge. my understanding is that i adjust the flows so that i am keeping about 1 inch of water above the grain bed througout the sparge. when all the water in the lauter tun is gone then i drain the mash tun and boil.
now i am reading about Batch sparging where you completely drain the mash tun, then add more hot water to the mash tun, wait, then drain it again. is this correct?
which one should i do for the first time and can someone give me a link to a step by step on the best sparge technique. also, can someone point me in the right direction as far as ph and iodine testing goes? dammit this all grain better be worth it!!!!
