Reiterated Mash

[Rodspe1968]

I use a Grainfather and am trying this for the 1st time. Equally split 32 lb grain bill and 2nd resulted in a stuck sparg . Is the answer to just add rice hulls to 2nd mash step? Any other pointers? Can't find much information about this process online...

Rice hulls would probably help. The viscosity of the wort after the second mash will be higher than after the first, so the grain bed will drain slower, all else being equal.
