Well still not hitting OG. This time I missed my mark of 1.051 and got 1.047 is that really a big miss?
Yooper said:The easiest thing to do is just adjust your planned OG to your actual efficiency, and scale up the grain a tad to hit the desired OG. That said, missing by 0.004 is nothing! That could be from a quart and a half more water in your brew than in the recipe.
Well how long should it take batch sparging?
It took me about 15-20 mins
Yooper said:It takes just a couple of minutes. With batch sparging, you just add the sparge water, stir it extremely well, vorlauf, and let it rip. It takes me less than 10 minutes.
Fly sparging, which works on the principle of diffusion, needs to be slow. But batch sparging doesn't rely on diffusion to rinse the sugars off of the grain, so it can be as fast as your valve will let it run.
Then what is the point on doing a first and second runnings? Like why don't you add the full volume and get it all done at once?
