I've done two all-grain 5gal batches using a big kettle with valve and torpedo screen as a mash/lauter tun. Right now I don't have another kettle or container that can be used to hold all the strike water I need, so I've just heated it in the kettle and quickly added and stirred in the grain.
I guess my efficiency has been a little low (69% and 71%), but this could probably be for a few reasons. My question is, what exactly is the supposed harm in adding grain to water instead of the water to grain as is generally recommended?
