After mashing the grains when you go to rinse. I believe that's what is called sparging. With 185 degree water. How long are you supposed to let that rest?

I sparge with 170f water for 15 minutes but only have a few batches with less than stellar efficiency under my belt.
With batch sprging, should the second batch of sparge water be closer to 170 degrees, with the idea that the first batch of 185 degree water had raised the temp to (or near) 170?
First, get over the idea that you need to do batch sparging in 2 batches. IME, that's effort you expend for a very small gain....not worth it to me.
But it could be necessary if the lauter tun isn't big enough to do a single batch.
