I'm a bit confused on what I'm reading about batch sparging. I am finding two procedures that both seem to call themselves batch sparging. One involves draining then adding more water after the first run is done, mixing it up and then draining again for second running. The other seems to say add more water to bring up to mash out temp and then drain all at once.
What's confusing is the first method doesn't seem to do any kind of mash out on the first runnings and it sounds like skipping the mash out step would be bad. The second method would take care of mash out but wouldn't really provide a secondary rinse.
It's confusing because both seem to be labeled as batch sparging yet they seem very different to me.
