I think I am going to make the jump to AG with one of my next batches. I've got most things worked out with the MLT and temps but one question left. For those of you with only one burner like me, how does your brew day go?
I figure I will use my boil kettle to heat water to my strike temp and then pour the desired amount into the pre-heated MLT. I will then add the grains and wait for an hour. In the mean time I will heat water up to my sparge temp (I will be batch sparging).
I'm not sure what to do at this point. Do I put this water into a bucket, then drain the MLT into the boil kettle, and then dump the sparge water into the MLT? Does someone have a better way to do this?
Hopefully I'll be able to come up with a second boil kettle to use a HLT before then but if not, does anyone have any suggestions on how to make things run smoothly?
Thanks!
