I just did my first batch sparge last night which included hitting the temps within 1 degree but an abysmal 58% efficiency. The night also included one mamma-jamma boilover.
My question is regarding vorlauf. I recirculated about 1 gallon and it did not appear to be any more clear than when I first started the vorlauf. There were no chunks of malt floating in it or anything, but it was definitely cloudy. This was a high-gravity beer, with 19.5# of grain if that matters.
How clear should the vorlauf be?
