If my interpretation is correct, what do people think about the two methods? Supposedly (according to the link) the first method yields better efficiency, but the second sounds easier. I ask because there are some forum posts suggesting draining, and sparging twice (with 1.37gal then 3.25gal), but sparging with 1.37gal seems odd. My confusion seems to stem from "2 step", since it seems like you're really only sparging once. I get "Batch sparge with 2 steps (Drain mash tun,, 4.62gal) of 168.0 F water" with the drain box checked. I get this option when the mash profile has the 'Drain mash tun before sparging' unchecked, and it seems to jive with what the link says. "Batch sparge with 2 steps (1.37gal, 3.25gal) of 168.0 F water" means add the first quantity of water to the tun before draining, wait, drain, then add the second quantity, wait, drain.

After poking through old forum posts and checking out what the BeerSmith people say (down under Batch Sparge Calculations here) here is what I'm thinking: I'm getting ready to do my first all-grain batch and have been mostly successful understanding the BeerSmith instructions.

Acronym Soup Yeast Harvesting Yeast Starter Priming Sugar Calculator Is It Infected? r/Homebrewing chat: I have selected 'Single Infusion, Medium Body, Batch Sparge', and BeerSmith seems to default to 'Batch sparge with 3 steps'. Most interested in taking the path of least resistance, and considering I had only an 8 gallon kettle for 5 gallon batches, I quickly ruled out BIAB. Please be patient as more links will be added you have to start somewhere. When I first made the decision to go all grain, I discovered there were myriad ways to do so traditional 3 vessel fly sparge, cheap-and-easy 2.5 vessel batch sparge, and Brew In A Bag (BIAB) were all considered.
