How hot is really hot? Hot tap water is really hot on my hands, but is not even the best temp for mashing.

...thoughts...

Do you own a thermometer?

As long as your pH is right, you can use boiling water in your sparge with no ill effects. You will notice a little bump on the efficiency as hotter water can dissolve more sugars.

yah i typically bring my sparge water close to boiling and it cools ten degrees or so before I start to use it... and yes the eff bump is super nice!
