Hi All,
Maybe another silly question, but I am a bit confused with sparging.
Assume I'm making the good DrSmurto's JSGA clone, All grain.
In beersmith i have selected Single infusion, Medium body.
Mash in, 60 mins @ 67.8 degrees.
I add 12.46L of water @ 77.8 deg c.
Mash out, 10 mins, 6.98 Litres at 92.8 deg c.
Sorry if this is dumb, but am I supposed to drain the first lot before I do the mash out, or do I leave it and just add extra 6.98 Litres, and then wait 10 minutes and then vorlauf / drain.
There is nothing about sparging either in Beersmith, I presume I sparge with the balance I need to get my pre-boil volume, by just adding that amount, rest for a short time and vorlauf / drain...
but at what temp and for how long ?
Cheers,
Chris
