    Mash Out or Batch Sparge (cannot do both)?

    I'm brewing a 12% abv Belgian Tripel soon that I've brewed a couple of times with good success.

    Step Mashing Basics

    When I first started brewing I used a kit to guide me through the brewing process. The instructions seemed very simple which was nice since I was still learning about the equipment and how the brewing process worked. I steeped a small sock of grains for 20 minutes, poured in the liquid malt...
