Hi, Lefou -
Many of those terms are beyond my ken, and probably beyond my stovetop equipment; however here's what I do:
I "think" what I do is an infusion mash and batch sparge - the procedure is pretty much the same as this:

As for the sparge, I run the sparge water over the grains once, then recirculate it twice, for a total of three times.
With the Edelweiss, I bottle it on BrewDay+72 hours; the fermentation finishes in the bottle, which also has the effect of carbonating the beer, of course (in fact, it is actually a very nice, smooth carbonation). I've considered doing this with other beers of similar style, but the idea seems so tricky and fraught with potential tragedy that I've only had the guts to do it with Edelweiss, which is a tried-and-true recipe that is followed carefully.
I regret that this is not much information, but that's what I know -
Ron
PS - this is a complete sidebar, but from what I've observed, it "looks" like the method I'm using results in an efficiency of 65% to 70%. If you have any thoughts on the matter as to a more precise number using this method, I'd be interested in reading them so that my calculations on the Brewer's Friend app can be more dialed-in.
Thanks -
Ron
