I like the circus tent colors!
I was trying to space the nozzles out so that there was even flow all the way around but ran out of pieces. I like the colors too!
Sparge water is 170f water added to wash the grain bed of residual sugars. You don't recirculate sparge water.
I thought that sparge water just sprayed on the grain and drained directly, not great a level of water.
There many ways to sparge!
That's nice to hear, brewing is finally so simple And same time complicated, I got the point!
It really is. Just take things one at a time. Been doing it 10 years and I still learn stuff all the time
I should have been more clear. I batch sparge. Meaning after the mash I drain the "first runnings" to my boil kettle and add the sparge water. Let that sit for a few minutes and then drain all of that to my boil kettle. My mash tun is a picnic cooler (on the left below). What you are describing is called fly-sparging. In that type of sparging you add the sparge water at the same rate that the wort is draining out of the mash tun. Since you BIAB, you can do a batch sparge or just pour water over your grain bag. As far as extraction of sugars from the mash fly-sparging is the most efficient, batch sparging is next, then BIAB is after that. But, the difference between all three isn't huge so don't stress too much about it.
Essentially correct
Brewers love german and old english words #tradition #bigwordsmesmarter #soundsmorecomplicatedthenitis #aretheseactuallyhashtags?
Where did you get the parts for your sparge arm? Want to make one for my brewzilla.
