I'm a long time homebrewer, short time all grain brewer (2 batches). I'm confused about mashing out. What is the purpose of mashing out? It seems that when I add enough near boiling water to reach my mash out temp. I'm only left with a relatively small amount of water to fly sparge with in order to reach my pre boil volume of approx. 6.5 gal. Is it better to perform a mash out or better to have more sparge water to maximize efficiency? Thanks for your help.
