OK, I have one more simple question. I have been going back and forth between batch and Fly sparging. There is one thing I don't understand with fly sparging. Please tell me if this is the correct way to Fly sparge. Currently, I have my HLT full to the top 14 gallons, I start my sparge with a slow trickle and open the valve to the kettle. Now, how do I know when to stop. Currently, I just measure the wort in the biol kettle and stop when I hit the correct amount. So when I am done, my Mash Tun is full of liquid still. The water stays at 1 inch over the grain bed. Is this correct? Do you even stop the sparge flow and drain the mash tun during the sparge? I hope this makes since. It is different from batch sparging as you drain fully each time. Is this the most efficient way to fly sparge?
Thanks,
Tom
