Just curious what thoughts people have on batch sparging schedules. Some of the old guys, like Ken Schwartz and Denny Conn, strongly advocate the use of one batch sparge that is approximately equal to the volume of the mash run-off. But I have also seen that a lot of people seem to prefer to use two rounds of batch sparging.
I realize that for higher gravity beers, it may be advantageous to do at least a couple of rounds of batch sparging. But for beers in the OG range of 1.030 to 1.065, is there any benefit? In my limited trials, I haven't seen any difference between the two. I would love to hear about your opinions and experiences.
