How hot do you get your batch sparging water?



About 190F.

bring the mash up to 170?


That's exactly what I was trying to do.

Hotter mash should loosen the sugars up from what I hear.

One thing I want to try next time is shorter mash times, I've heard that 15-20 minutes is all it really takes to convert.


I have heard this as well. I need to get some iodine or whatever it is to check conversion. I already don't think that it's necessary to keep that second batch in there for 15 minutes but my numbers haven't been right yet so I haven't messed with my times.
