I can't understand why when I select single infusion, batch sparge with one step it is telling me to use two steps (0.89gal, and 4.06gal). Why would I spare with less than a gallon? I hope this isn't too stupid of a question!
Oginme said:You need to customize the mash profile for your system. Chances are that you do not have the box for 'drain mash tun before sparging' checked. You can also set the batch sparge to 100% of volume to help avoid having two sparge steps.
Given the small volume first, probability is that you do not have the drain mash tun checked.

The last thing you said about adding the small amount of water into the mash before first runnings had me wondering though...what does that do as opposed to adding it at the beginning of the mash or with the rest of the sparse water? Does that temp added right before draining do something I'm not aware of?
