I've come across a few receipes for extract/steeping grain brewers that say to sparge the steeped grain bag with a 1/2 gallon of ~170F water after you have rung the water out of the grain bag. What exactly does this accomplish?
Is it basically getting a little more fermentable sugar out of the grains aka raising the OG ever so slightly? Are there other benefits of sparging a grain bag for extract/steeping grain brewers?
