Yeah I'd agree with you Bobby_M, I did an iodine test and had full conversion so it must surely have been channeling that caused the issue. I have been reading that fly sparging lends itself much better to circular mash tuns & false bottoms so that is something to keep in mind for later.

Great information thanks, that does make sense as it was quite a gummy mash when finished (I've never used wheat before) so I guess I experienced some channeling? I've been reading and with my MT (a square cooler & copper manifold) I should not have the manifold close to the walls as this will...

Really, I'm sure I read 1 quart/min when fly sparging is a good figure to aim for which is why I went a little slower still. It would have taken me 58 minutes to reach my pre boil volume of 29 litres. What speed would you suggest I try next time?

Hi guys, have a question if you could help me out. I made a wheat beer earlier and while fly sparging I hit 1.010 so I stopped the sparge. Unfortunately I was just under 8 litres short of my pre boil volume - although my pre boil gravity was exactly as it should be. I sparged really slowly...
