So I'm starting to get some gear together to make the jump to AG, doing a lot of reading on the subject, but there's a few concepts that seem a bit wonky to me.
For example, mash-out. I can't find a good explanation for what this means anywhere. Sometimes it seems to refer to raising the temp of the mash before draining the wort to the boil kettle? If that's so, how does one go about that? Just adding more hot water to the mash?
Same with infusions. I see things listed as a single infusion batch/sparge recipie, and have no idea what the infusion part refers to.
Anyone care to clarify those concepts a bit for me?
