Double Mash

[DaleP]

Was reading the newest IPA book yesterday and in a couple of the recipes it called for a double mash. First mash at 1.3 quarts per pound, second mash at 1.7 quarts per pound with strike and mash temps given. Am I overthinking this? Is this just batch sparging?

When one sparges it should take 30-40 minutes to complete that process. I set my mash tun up so that it barely trickles out after sparge water is added like a second mash. I would think both are the same, but not experienced enough to know for sure.

What are the temps listed?

Sounds like a batch sparge to me. Mash will vary based on your setup (boil-off, efficiency, size of mash tun, etc.) so do not ever take a recipe at face value.
