You should give your mash at least a little while to settle before lautering after each sparge water addition (this gives you the nice grain bed filter that provides nice clear wort). If you don't have sufficient grain bed depth, pouring your recirculated wort back in will cause channeling and impact your efficiency (not much though). I usually just grab a lift off something in the kitchen (normally one of the missus tupperware containers or something), float it upside down in the mash tun and pour the recirculated wort on to it (it distributes it beautifully).
Edit: spelling
Yeah thanks mate... will be doing this on the next one...
you know how when you do something and you know it's probably not right but you don't stop anyway cause you're too lazy?... or is that just me?
Many things to learn on the new kit... all good fun though... more learning = more fun.
My OCD kicking in again. I MUST learn everything there is to know about a subject!!
