Doing my first AG brew in a week or so, just trying to study up as much info as I can. Main thing I am worried about is sparging properly. My beersmith says to Mash with 12.5 qts of water, cool. Then it says to sparge with 19.38 qts.
So when I go to sparge, I will drain out a few pitchers and run it back through the grain bed after my mash is complete. Drain out my mash tun completely into my kettle. And then after that, pour half of sparge water in my mash tun and give it a gentle stir and sit for 10 min or so and drain that completely into my kettle. Pretty much just do that until I reach my pre boil volume. Does that sound like a solid process? Any tips? Thanks!
