I currently have a partial mash underway. I am going to batch sparge (sort of) - basically I am going to strain the mashed grains and then drop them into my sparge vessel - BeerEmith tells me to use water at 168 degrees, but doesn't give me a time. The post, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy-partial-mash-brewing-pics-75231/index2.html, says to use 175 degree water and then leave it something like 10-15 minutes.
Does 168 vs 175 matter? I only ask because I always see 170 as a kind of magic number and these are on either side of it.
Does 10-15 minutes sound about right? How long would be too long?
