Im going to start making 10 gallon batches soon. (10 gallon gott cooler mash tun with a 15 gallon kettle) I was wondering how you would approach the sparge. I currently fly sparge, but with large batches Im not sure if that is the easiest way to go. I do use a bazooka screen rather than a manifold or false bottom and achieve about 72% eff in a 5 gallon batch while fly sparging. I was thinking a batch sparge would be the way to go instead. But, in BS2 the mash profile says 3 steps? For my current recipe it says-Drain Tun, 5.84gal, 1.38 gal @168. Does this mean to drain the tun then add 5.84 then 1.38 then recirc and drain? If so why does it break it up? Is it to make it easier to add-so yer not adding 7-8 gallons at once and burning yourself? Thanks Brad...
