Help with no sparge brew!

[uphillbrewer]

Has anyone done a no sparge brew that can fill me in in the basics ( or point me in a direction).i would like to do a first runnings ESB and after listening to the "Can you Brew it?" show about the Fuller's beers ( they used a partigyle) it seemed like a great idea. I do to want to do a double batch, just one beer without sparrging. Is it as simple as starting with my full volume of water at mash temps then running out the mash tun? Bonus if you explain how onset intoning Beersmith!

Yep you need your total volume of water for the batch. Mash with all the water and your desired temperature. Vorlauf, drain, boil, ferment, enjoy.

Just as a side note I have been doing this for the last 3 or 4 months. It will give you a very malty brew. I have been increasing my bittering hops by 10% to adjust. Just my .02

Do you have to top off at all? Or is it the full volume?
