Beginning AG brewer here.
I've heard a lot of concern about sparging with too little volume of water.
I've also heard that you keep adding sparge water until you reach your desired wort volume in the brew kettle.
I'm having a difficult time understanding that.
Say you add (in theory 20 gallons) of sparge water. Won't that terribly dilute the wort? Say you stop when you reach 6.5 gallons in your BK, what's in the BK is going to be pretty diluted, right?
