I am brewing a Barleywine on a 10gallon cooler system.
Mash temp: 150F
Water/grain ratio: 1.25
Water: 19qt
Grain: 15lb
After the mash at 150 for 75 minutes, I will be Mashing out with 10qt at 209F to reach 168.
This will leave me about 9 gallons of water in the cooler. After recirculating some of the run-off till the beer clears up a bit, should I just let all this to run off at a slow rate of less than 1 quart a minute till I reach my 6.5g boil volume? or should I use my hot water bucket to keep the water over the grain bed instead?
I wasnt sure what was the best way to get the most residual sugar?
Thanks.
