So I've been fly sparging forever but after talking with guys at my LHBS I decided to try a batch sparge.
7 lbs 2 row.
12 oz flaked oatmeal
8 oz carapils
12 oz 80 degree
Did a 1/2 hour protein rest at 130 ish degrees. I know it's too hot bt I was worried about havins sufficient room in my 5 gal mash tun to get in adequeat water to raise the temp to mash temps.
Added 170 degree water to raise the temp up to 154 and went away for a while and drank beer. Mashed for 80 minutes. I based my timeing on the fact that we're having a freakin' monsoon today and at that point the rain had let up a bit.
Did a second mash with 160 degree water for 30 minutres.
ended up with 6 1/4 gallons
It's cooking now. Boiled for 15 minutes then added 1 oz kent goldings and 1 oz tettnang.
With 30 minutes to go I'll add 1 oz Hallertour and then dry hop with Amarillo.
Ok, time for more Hot Bastard Octoberfest. (Get the bright idea to brew an Octovberfest in Mid August, you are going with lager least at ale temps, thus Hot Bastard)
