I recently brewed my first all grain (IPA) and decided to simplify things a bit by batch sparging. After the 1st runnings (60 min) how long should I steep the 2nd and 3rd sparge? After putting my water in, I only let it sit ~15min. Just wondering if I should I have let is steep longer?
I ended up with a OG within my target range and about a 70% efficiency so I guess I can't complain too much. Just wondering if it could have been a little higher if I let it sit longer before pulling off the 2nd and 3rd.
It has about another week on the secondary fermentation before I'll get my first taste but the yeast seems to like it.
Thanks,
