I was brewing BierMuncher's Bluemoon clone (partial mash) last night when I had an idea for sparging that may or may not exist/be good. We were using socks for the wheat and we mashed in one pan @ 155F, at the end of the 70 minutes we took socks out and dropped them in another pan with one gallon of water at 180F to "sparge" This seemed to work well; we ended up with OG 1.035.
So since we are designing our all grain rig I had an idea. Could you use a basket with holes in it to suspend your grain in your MLT for mashing and then pull the basket and drop it into either your HLT or BK that contains water at sparge temp? Maybe a SS pan with holes in the side and bottom?
BTW the Bluemoon clone smelled awesome, can't wait to try it; thanks BierMuncher!
