I did my first partial mash about a few weeks ago. I used a midwest supplies kit. The instructions told me to hear up 175 degree sparging water. Now instead of pouring the sparge water in with the actual mash like the directions said I did what death brewer did on his partial mash instructions. I simply took the grain bag out let it drip then placed it in the 170 degree sparge water to rinse the grains and get all of the sugars out of the grains.
Then I did my second batch and I was having some trouble with my boil (which I now fixed). So this time around I did what the directions on the midwest supply kit told me to do. I simply took the 175 degree pot of water and slowly poured it over the grains and let it sit for a few minutes.
Here is my question. What exactly is batch sparging and fly sparging?? Also which one of these situations is the correct way to go?
