Sparging Liquor...

Post by monk » Tue Apr 10, 2007 6:38 pm

Hey guys, just curious: What temp is the liquor you use for sparging? I used to heat it to 170F (77c) until I read an article on batch sparging that instructed using almost boiling water. I believe this is only for batch sparging, as you'll be dumping the water onto a dry grain bed, and once mixed, the temp will stabilize around 170F...

My extraction rate was around 75% when I used the ~boiling water. ANy opinions?
