I am trying batch sparging, I have always fly sparged.
I am using the Brew Pal iPhone app. The mash in strike temperature looks correct, 166 degrees. But the sparge temperature is 168 degrees for a 168 degree sparge. it says to sparge with 8.36 gallons at 168 degrees. Since I am doing a batch sparge I would imagine the sparge water should be hotter than 168 to bring the 152 degree grain up to 168 degrees.
Thanks
