Hey, guys, I'm brewing AG right now. Need help!
It's a clone from Austin Home Brew. I did the math according to their recipe... and when I started my sparge I already had a good 1"-1.5" on top of the mash... that never happens. Usually the top of the grain isn't submerged. It's like I had too much water? But my math was perfect.
SO... I need help.
Do I continue to sparge as usual... or should I take some of that mash water off the top, so that I can collect some of the hotter water from the HLT?
THANKS!!!!!
