OK, sorry to make a new thread on this, but I couldn't find an answer for this with someone with a similar set up.
I do a BIAB with a sparge. Here's my process. I have an 8 gallon kettle, which I mash in. I heat my sparge water in another kettle to about 165. I remove the grains from the 8 gallon, drain, then put the bag in the second kettle for 15 min. Combine, then I have my full volume for the boil.
So in my brew day for this weekend, I'm doing an IPA. I plan on using 100% RO water. I have 4oz acidulated malt in the grain bill to help mash ph. I also plan on adding 1tsp Calcium Chloride and 1.5tsp, maybe 2tsp of gypsum. Would I just add this to the mash, or should some of this go into my sparge?
