Sparging

Jun 16, 2006 3 Replies

After mashing at 155 degrees for an hour should I be recirculating the liquor as I am sparging. I havn't quite thought about how I would do that without a pump. Any suggestions?


Recirculate before sparging. For an easier way to sparge, see hbd.org/cascade/dennybrew.

Thanks, I did drain some and pour it back over the grain bed several times and it seemed to help filter it a little more too. Did my first all grain batch on Saturday and all seemed ok. It is happily bubbling away in my basement with a wet thirt over the carboy (keeps it cooler). Was trying for Domestic IPA and my starting gravity was 1.044. I guess that is about right. I can't wait till it is finished!!

That's kinda low for an IPA...even a bit low for an APA.
