I was thinking today about my batch sparging process and started wondering if I am doing it correctly. For some reason, doubt has entered my mind about my process. Here it is....Assuming a target temp of 152F
1) Mash in with 163F H20, hold for 60 minutes...I know everyones system is different
2) Vorlauf a couple of quarts until clear.
3) Drain 1st runnings
4) Add "x" amount of boiling water to raise grain temp to 170-175ish.
5) Let it sit for 5 minutes.
6) Vorlauf a couple of quarts.
7) Drain 2nd runnings.
8) Add "x" amount of water (approx 175F).
9) Vorlauf
10) Drain final runnings.
That is what I do. Any thoughts? Thanks.
