I am about to brew my first all grain hefe, and I am wondering whether I should recirculate the wort over the grains when splarging. My mash tun has a false bottom and spigot, and my process would be to use a wort pump and tubing to pull wort from under the false bottom and run it through the tubing to the top of the mash tun. I'll be using rice hulls to avoid a stuck splarge.
Is this needed/advisable? And if so, for how long? Also, is there something I should be watching for in the appearance of the wort while recirculating?
