Hi guys, have a question if you could help me out. I made a wheat beer earlier and while fly sparging I hit 1.010 so I stopped the sparge. Unfortunately I was just under 8 litres short of my pre boil volume - although my pre boil gravity was exactly as it should be. I sparged really slowly, timed it at 500ml every 1 minute so I just decided to go and start the boil and just end up with less beer this time.
I left the mash for 15-20 minutes and decided to check the gravity again and it was now 1.025 so plenty of sugar left. How can I stop this happening next time I brew a similar beer? I shouldn't need to stop for 15 minutes then continue fly sparging should I?
