I am on my second batch with my 3 vessel brewing just switched from doing BIAB. When i was doing BIAB i alway overshot my OG when sticking to the recipe, but now that i switch to fly sparge and pumping, both batch i brewed are way low. Here is my basic method.
i am using 2 pot and a cooler but in a different method. I have a top tier with 2 pots mounted next to each other then i put the color on the shelf high enough to gravity feed into my MT. So i heat water in the boil kettle and then pump it up into the cooler.
Mash as normal at 154* then bring to 168 to 10 minutes, then recirculate with my pump for 3-4 minutes to set the grain bed, slow down the pump to a trickle, and start sparge arm. I am using a Blichmann auto sparge to fly sparge wight he water at 168-170.
Thanks for any help you can offer - a little frustrated i spent all the money on the top tier and can't seem to hit my #'s now.
