Help me clear something up. I'm a seasoned extract brewer looking to leap to all-grain. I see the terms fly and batch sparging thrown around a lot, but never found any clear definitions. This is what I'm assuming, please correct if wrong.
Fly sparging: While draining your mash, you slowly rinse the spent grains with hot water until boil volume is achieved. Mash tun is continuously draining to boil kettle.
Batch sparging: Drain mash, close off valve to boil kettle, fill mash tun up with a volume of hot water. Let rest a bit or maybe immediately open valve and drain to boil kettle.
Is this the jist?
