My Setup:
> 8 gallon Kettle
> 5 gallon Cooler
So I'm doing a 5 gallon brew for a stout.
When I look the steps for mashing a sparging i get the below:
Mash in @ 13.75 qt of Water at 162.3
And then (steps that I'm questioning):
Batch sparge in 4 steps (Drain mash tun , 2.32gal, 2.32gal, 0.27gal) of 168.0 F water )
My Question:
Once i mash the first time...am I supposed to?:
Step 1. Only add 2.32 gal...let sit for few minutes...sparge.
Step 2. Then add another 2.32 gal...let sit for few min... sparge.
Step 3. The add only 0.27 gal...let sit for few min...sparge.
Step 4. Add regular water to wort to get to my pre-boil volume.
