Hey everyone... maybe you can answer this question quickly for me as I haven't had much luck searching really.
I am going to do my first batch sparge tomorrow just to compare the efficiency to what I get when fly sparging and I have everything plugged in to beersmith. Can anyone translate this for me?
Mash Ingredients
Mash In: Add 10.94 qt of water at 164.8 F
Hold mash at 150.0 F for 75 min
-- Batch Sparge Round 1: Sparge with 1.62 gal of 168.0 F water.
-- Batch Sparge Round 2: Sparge with 3.30 gal of 168.0 F water.
-- Add water to achieve boil volume of 6.35 gal
-- Estimated Pre-boil Gravity is: 1.036 SG with all grains/extracts added
This is for a 5.25 gallon batch. I understand the mashing instructions but the sparge gets me confused. After mashing I add the round 1 water addition and then drain for first time and after that add the next round of water (3.3) and then drain that off correct? It seems like the amounts listed will put me way over my pre boil volume of 6.35 gallons.
Any suggestions or advice for my first attempt at this?
