SS Brewtech Infussion MT - Sparging and recirculation

[BaaBaaBristol]

I wondered if anyone could help. When I used to brew, I used a cool box as my MT and a jug to recirculate and batch sparge.

Over the years since my last brew I have acquired an SSBrewtech Infussion MT and have the sparge arm and recirculation manifold.

Should I be using the recirculatiom manifold after the mash has finished until the wort runs clear and then swap to the sparge arm for the fly sparging? I will have to practice ‘throttling’ to maintain a steady 1” of liquid on the grain bed though!

Any hints and tips for this particular kit that I can think about to get ready?

I’m have this mash tun and just use the recirc manifold for both recirculation and sparging. I run with a RiMS so just run the sparge water through the RIMS tube from the HLT to wash the element and flush the manifold (element off during sparge).

Both, and you could got full volume.
