Based on your previously stated efficiencies, i will be doing a single batch sparge just like you explained. I have always been reluctant to disturb rhe grain bed when sparging, but now that i have efficient recirc I am going to give it a whirl. Ta
It does seem a bit counter productive when you recirculate for the mash duration & achieve a crystal clear wort & stir it up again doing a batch sparge. After my mash out, I drain the mash tun completely & batch sparge. With the sparge, I stir it all up, recirculate till reasonably clear, maybe just a couple of minutes & fully drain again to the boil kettle. The sparge runoff is not as clear as the sacc rest recirculation but even if bottling which I have been doing, after just a week in the bottle, it's crystal clear. Let us know how you get on.
