For my first AG, I was able to split my sparge into two equal parts as suggested on this forum but with this large of a grain bill (17lbs)the two equal sparge volumes are to small. I am doing a 90 min boil and am using a pre-boil volume of 7 gallons. (Hopefully the 7 gal will get me 5 gallons)
Here is what I want to do.
Do a mash out with 2 gallons close to boiling.
Sparge with 1.85 gallons at 168.
This will give me just a bit over 7 gal figuring 1.25 qts per lb of grain with an absorption rate of .12gal/lb of grain.
Will this be an efficient way to sparge this large amount of grain or is there a better way?
Thanks
