Could not believe what a difference sparging slowly with the BM made, after last week when I dumped 9 litres straight in to sparge and only got 70% efficiency, as most of the sparge water channeled straight through.
Today I did a German Pils with all Hal. Mid. 4.950kg's grain, mashed in 26 litres at 25 deg C (tap water temp), 20min @ 52 deg C, 45min @ 62 deg C, 45min @ 72 deg C and 10min at 78 deg C. I then sparged with 9.5 litres of water, 1 litre at a time every 2 mins, and had a pre boil gravity of 1.047.
So to keep within the style guidlines I might need to water this on down to 1.050.
ALso I did not stop the BM to stir the mash.
