Does anyone use a kitchen colander to help them with partial mashing. I have been doing partial mashing for a couple of brews now and have had success, but I am just trying to improve my techniques. I will usually mash in my brewpot for about forty five minutes and then use the tea bag technique. I will drain the bag and then let it sit in the sparge water for about ten minutes, and then drain the bag again and combine the sparge water with the main wort.
Would it make sense to use a colander instead of the bag. I was thinking of mashing in my brew pot then pouring that into the colander which will go into my sanitized bottling bucket. I then would run that back through the colander into my main brew pot. Then pour the sparge water over the grains for the last step. Does this method make sense and maybe give me the opportunity to get better result from the grains? I guess my only concern is what kind of corlander should I get? Will the corlander stop all of the grains? Would love some advice on this.
