I currently do BIAB in an 18 litre urn and dunk sparge in a bucket, usually once pre boil and a second time during the boil to allow for evap loss.
I have acquired a second urn and was thinking of revising my process and would appreciate some advice on this.
Here is my revised procedure based on what Ive read and learnt on here
Mash in urn one.
Have urn 2 approx half full with water set at a suitable temp for sparging (What would that be exactly?? 80C???)
Mash out and pull the bag, let it drain then lower it into urn two and stir the grains. After ten minutes drain off into a 1 or 2 litre jug and recirculate to filter and once it runs fairly clear add to urn one for pre boil top up.
Then leave the remaining wort in urn 2 with the bag and the grain still in there until about 30 mins boil time left and drain into the kettle to top up for evap loss. (Or I could add extra water from a kettle into urn two if I need to top it up after the first sparge)
So would this procedure have any benefits or problems over a standard "green" bucket dunk sparge?
