I currently brew ~2 gallon batches on the stove top using a mesh bag to mash in. To sparge, I put my bag into a steamer basket that rests on top of a SS rack, over my kettle. This allows me to fly sparge and I don't need a pulley or anything. While I previously liked this idea a lot, I recently noticed that I'm losing a lot of wort through the side holes of the steamer basket. I'm wondering if, since that wort is not getting to reach the bottom of the grain bed, am I losing efficiency points? Could that be problematic in any other way?
I'm wondering if I should drill a bunch of small holes through the bottom of a different pot and use that to sparge with to force all of my sparge water through the entire grain bed.
Thoughts?
Cheers!
