skaboyd said:Unfortunatly I am not ready to spend money to buy equipmenty untill I can do it a few times. The 60 to 90 min sparge time claims I need to have the water above the grain bed as I extract the sugars at a constant of 170-180 deg F ( 77-82 C). I have seen a couple of options to create a lauter-tun out of 5 gal. buckets and coolers. If I do this and pour the hot water in to the buckets mixing mash into it as well do I initially let the hot water set and slowly drain while adding more hot water The description of this in my book seems a little vauge and I am worried if I do not sparge properly I will be losing the extra umph my brew should have. Does this sound right or am I heading in the wrong direction? and once again thanks for the comments
