Yeah the 15 minutes is for the batch sparge. I general allow the mash to soak a minimum of 60 minutes. I'll def post all my reading next batch hopefully this week sometime. Thanks again for all the responses I really appreciate them
I'm not accusing any store of any conspiracy or intentionally selling bad product. I have nothing but good to say about the homebrew store I go to. I was just hoping for some tips on more efficient batch sparging
Also my homebrew store crushes my grains and I have a fairly large cooler for my mashtun thinking around forty quarts. Could this be to big since a few of the recipes I've had issues with were for three gallons? Thanks for the help
Thanks for the responses. I haven't been double sparging, just once but I stir multiple times and allow it to sit for around 15 minutes. I've been using the sparge pal app on my phone for measurements and have pretty much been spot on with the volume, just not gravity. I've been checking my...
Hey how's it going? Been doing some all grain brewing and my gravity is always much lower than intended. Even when I've added a little extra I'm still usually a little lower than I want. Any tips for better efficiency? Btw I use a Coleman extreme with a bazooka tube as my mash tun.

Hey whats up? I attempted a full boil last night for the first time with a bigger pot and could not get a rolling boil started. i tried using my electric stove but it did not work. Rather than throw out the wort i attempted to remove about two gallons from my stock pot and transfered it to...
I have my fridge set to about 50 degrees. I got the temp down really quick and noticed fermentation did not start till I got the wort below 60. I called the home brew store in my area and they said as long as it starts to ferment, not to worry about it. I'm still worried about off-flavors...
