Reading lots on how to make an AG brew... I understand all the ingredients and processes. But do you Mash in all of your base grains, specialty grains, and flavouring grains and every other grains all in the same mash @ the same time?
I understand that there are some exceptions to the norm. I am going to attempt the Lauder tun with a coleman cooler. Looks pretty easy. So when you brew AG there must be lots of grains down there? And how fast or slow should you go with the flow. I read in my book that your first runnings(sweetest) are not supposed to be restrained back into the lauder tun? But the rest(remainder of mash)should be returned to filter through the grain bed... Well...is that before the sparging process? At the same time? I'm confused could someone please enliten me on just this part please.
