Hey guys, I'm about to attempt my first all grain brew, and am looking at a few recipes. I just wanted to clarify something about the recipe I think I'll attempt.
Some of it is obvious I guess, but the 2 step sparge seems confusing to me.
Mash Steps:
Name Description Step Temperature Step Time
Mash In: Add 21.04 qt of water at 159.1 F 148.0 F 60 min
Sparge Step: Batch sparge with 2 steps (1.14gal, 4.38gal) of 168.0 F water
Do I just add the grains in the first step (159.1F), wait an hour, then the temp should be 148.0F, Strain the wort, then add 1.14gal at 168.0F, strain into kettle with wort, then add 4.38gal at 168.0, and strain into wort/kettle?
I've been reading a lot on mashing, and think I have confused myself - Here is the Mash steps for the recipe I'm looking at. Thanks for the help.
