I am biab in a 5G pot with 11-12 pounds of grain. How many times can I dunk/batch sparge my bag of grains. I know the right answer would depend on water chemistry, but I haven't done a ph test yet. I've had pretty good luck dunk sparging once in another 5G kettle (even got OG up to 1.090), but wondering if I could sparge a second time since I am brewing a big batch this time around. My recipe has ~10% specialty malts which I hear can help keep the ph in range. Would cool water on the second sparge reduce tannin extraction?
