I'm not totally certain on the sparging process. I understand that, after mashing the grains at about 150 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour, the next step is the sparging process, which involving pouring 170 degree water into the grains.
My question is how long do you let the 170 degree water sit in the mash tun as part of that sparging process? I've been doing about 10 minutes. Does that sound right?
As well, should I recirculate the wort through the mash tun again? If so, how long should I let that recirculated wort sit in the mash tun? Another 10 minutes?
Thanks.
