sparge

I'm learning as I go so I typically brew many 1 and 2 gal batches rather than a single big one. Most of my brews have been partials but I did try one all-grain Witbier that turned out really really well through just dumb luck I think. I'd like to try some more all-grain recipes but i have...

Hey all, Today I've been making an all grain Honey Double IPA from a recipe I found on BeerSmith. I think I've messed up in two ways. First I decided to batch sparge (it was listed as a single infusion, medium body). The Recipe called for a 10min mash out with 200F water, to mash out at 68F...

Hello Grainfather Users! I use a Grainfather sparge water heater fitted with a ball valve and a short length of silicon tubing for my sparge. I keep a constant trickle of water going through the mash tun but never have the 10mm or so of water that the Grainfather folks say they have on top. Do...

I am going to brew this recipe https://beerandbrewing.com/thresher-coffee-saison-recipe/ (also here https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/680127/thresher-coffee-saison ) but it is quite vague, on sparging especially with the second link not mentioning it at all. can anyone help me...

Hello my fellow brewers!!!! Hoping for some guidance. I recently changed my brewing system and went with a single tier, 2 vessel (1 HLT/Boil with heating element, 1 Mash Tun, 1 pump) DIY electric system. It's very similar to the one used in this video: . In doing my research, I did see...

I have been brewing for a few years and now really trying to be as efficient and consistent in my brewing as possible. With that said, I do batch sparging by rinsing the grains once, and during the mash have my water way above my grain bed (I am now aware that I only want my water to be a couple...

Hello fellow brewers. I am finishing up a batch right now, and like my previous all grain attempts, I cant seem to get all the wort out of my kettle and into my fermenter. a. because my screen gets plugged and b. there is tons and tons of sediment in the bottom of my kettle I used a worfloc at...

My last batch efficiency was poor. (only second AG batch) I then realized that I probably sparged at too low a temp. Somehow BS had me sparging at 168. Don't know how that happened. So, I am looking at the Adjust Mash Temp tool. I plug in 0 for water volume assuming I have drained the mlt...

How critical is the volume of the sparge? Is there an accepted ratio to use? I'm trying to figure out how much grain I can work with.

I have been brewing all-grain for a couple years now. After a multitude of batches - spent learning and experimenting - I have reached the point where I am ready to gain understanding and insight into every aspect of the beer-making process. Simply, I have become a proud lover of everything beer...
