when I sparge I fill my HLT with more than enough water to sparge with. I sparge until I get the amount of wort I want in my boil kettle, doing it this way leaves me with a mash tun with about a gallon or more of unused wort.
My question is, do you think the way I do it effects anything? Should I try to get closer to an empty mash tun, with the right amount of water in the HLT?
I have never had any problem hitting my Gravity and pH but was just maybe overthinking things here.
