Hi
I am new to brewing and just completed my second all grain brew.
I am concerned that I am not doing it right, so let me describe my process to see if you can find something odd with my way of clearing the husk from the wort.
I brew using the BIAB method. After mashing i simply lift the bag up to strain the wort, then when the dripping stops i put the bag (with the grain) in a fine mesh strainer over a plastic tun. Then I pour back all the wort that was extracted over the grain bag, allowing it to "sparge" the full amount of wort and to clarify it and strain out any husk. I've read that this is not the normal way of sparging, and that i should use clear heated water instead of recirculating the wort.
Will this mess up my brew in any way do you think?
Cheers
