Check my technique below:
I have:
8 gallon kettle
2 gallon kettle
1 gallon kettle
I am brewing this recipe:
http://hopville.com/recipe/1533613/saison-recipes/sugar-snaps
With about 12 lbs of grain or less and 1 quart per lb I can do a thick mash in the bag with the 8 gallon kettle . My next thought is the best way to get good sparging. I was aiming at dunk sparging in the 2 gallon kettle then pour sparging that same bag of grains in a colander over the 8 gallon kettle making sure I hit my 6 gallon pre-boil volume. Do I check gravity by putting the hydrometer in that pre-boil volume? I'm not planning on doing an iodine test. I will be mashing at 153-155 and keeping it there via insulation and towels for about 90 minutes or 60, I'm not sure what time is right.
Thanks again!
Ps: I've pretty much re-reviewed all the partial mash and biab resources here and elsewhere by forum and vid.
