Next weekend I'm brewing a Russian imperial stout using my normal procedures. I stir/dunk-sparge and squeeze the bag. I have been getting 79% efficiency.
I then am going to try making a second wort by stirring and dunk-sparging the same grain with a second batch of sparge water.
Should I re-mash the grains or just go for it? I read about some people re-mashing for about 30 minutes, but If conversion has already happened, wouldn't re-mashing be wasted time?
Disclaimer: I know there won't be a ton of sugar left after squeezing the first time.
