Mash out if im bath sparging? Cream Ale

[Gustavo]

Ordered an AG Cream ale kit from northern brewers. It called for 160 min sacc and 10 mash out. If I'm bath sparging do I still need the 10 min. Mash out? Has any one brewed this kit

No need for mash out if batch sparging.

Here's a fantastic discussion as to why:

You may want to start heating the wort in the kettle once you have a couple inches in there, but batch sparging doesn't take very long, so you don't get much drop in temperature.

EDIT: Plus, most of the conversion has already happened.

Mashout is not necessary for home brewers at all. It's necessary in commercial environments because the wort takes much longer to transfer before the boil. With home brewing, after mashing for an hour there isn't much if anything left to convert and if it is its 2 points tops. Don't let anyone tell you differently
