Hey guys, I have been brewing extract + grians or about a year, and am making the leap into AG.
My question is about my process for the first time, I just wanted to make sure this sounds correct after reading lots of threads and listening to podcasts. I am converting the 10 gallon Igloo for a MLT and batch sparging, so here is how I understand the process:
1. Heat up strike water in kettle.
2. Pour strike water in Cooler/MLT, let sit for a couple minutes to preheat MLT.
3. Add grains into water, and mix, let sit 60 minutes or until conversion.
4. Begin heating sparge water in kettle.
5. Vorlauf in MLT
6. Drain MLT into smaller kettle, put onto burner.
7. Dump sparge water into cooler, stir, let sit 10 minutes
8. Drain MLT into kettle, combine smaller kettle and larger kettle on burner.
9. Proceed like a extract brew.
Does that sound right?
