I just had a thought today, would it be possible to up your efficiency by using a hybrid sparge method using both batch and fly sparging? Basically I was thinking for an hour long mash, to let the mash sit for 30 min or an hour and fly sparge half or a little more of your preboil volume. Then stir up your mash and let sit for the same amount of time and fly sparge again to your preboil volume.
My main idea would be that the second fly sparge would have a high efficiency because the water in the mash would have a lower concentration of sugars therefore it would be able to extract more sugars.......
Thoughts and concerns?
