A lot of people do batch sparging (myself included), because it is easy, effective, and requires no extra monitoring or equipment (high efficiency and no pH monitoring!). Just my two cents.
OK, He said 3 methods. I have heard of batch and fly. What would be the third and would it be a BMW or a Hyundai? Going all grain soon so I will be researching all this...
This like asking a bunch of rednecks if ford or chevy is better.
Bottom line. They both work just fine and many folks have success with either. It all comes down to personal preference.

Lol. I don't give a rats foot. I drive a Honda.
I guess I technically do double batch. Though I have always called it batch sparring. I figured everyone did double batch sparging. I guess not.
I actually do both at once. I fly sparge and when I get to my last gallon, I cut off the valve, stir the hell out of it, then batch sparge the final runnings. Then I will rinse them again with another gallon or two, boil that in a pot with some DME added to bring it up to 1.030, then can the wort for future starters!
Batch sparging seems a little complicated?
I thought I batch sparged... But that's not what I do... So what would it be if I start the sparge and drain slowly in one slow batch... Until I get the calculated volume for the boil ... ?
No sparge? Do you never add fresh water to the mash when lautering (sparging). This is a common technique that gets good results as well, but not as common as batch sparging!
If you add water at the same rate you drain it, then that is fly sparging
my bad... I got the two swapped in me brain... TX!
How long are you guys that batch sparge letting each "batch" sit in the tun before draining? I usually let it go for 15 mins, but am trying to trim some time off my brewday. Ive started doing 90 min mashes and boils, and vorlauf for up to 15 mins, and my brews are starting to bump near six hours. This really wouldn't bother me as I love the process, but I have a finite time off from work
Ok correct me if I'm wrong but Bach sparging is good for high gravity beer? To batch sparge you drain mash that was mashing for an hour at aprox 150*. Then add sparge water hot enough to bring it up close to 170. Drain and repeat? But batch sparging might get a low OG ? Did I sum up?
They both suck, Dodge is the best. What kind of question is that, you must be one of those nut job Ford guys.
