Once the water’s about 5˚F over my target strike temp, I transfer it all to my cooler MLT then close the lid for a few minutes to let it pre-heat.Īfter a few minutes of pre-heating, I open the lid and stir until my target strike temp is reached then add my grains, stirring constantly with a huge whisk to avoid dough balls. One of the things that makes the no sparge method so simple is that you use the full volume of brewing liquor in the mash, which makes adding minerals and acids easier for those of us who tweak our water profiles, as you’re not calculating mash and sparge additions. I also included a BeerSmith tutorial video for those interested in setting up their equipment and mash profiles to work with this method. While I’ve written more briefly about my process before, I thought I’d share a more detailed and photo-filled version of what a typical no sparge brew day looks like. I tried it out, it worked great, and now I find myself using the no sparge method for all the 5 gallon batches where I’m not using BIAB, which when traditionally performed is actually a type of no sparge method. On top of all that, it shaves a good 30-45 minutes off of a typical brew day. What I’d heard about no sparge is that it works great for low to moderate OG beers, it results in slightly lower efficiency compared to fly or batch sparge, it can reduce the risk of tannin extraction, and it tends to produce an at least slightly more malty beer. As much as I enjoy brewing beer, and I truly do, I also get a sense of satisfaction from streamlining the process while maintaining a high quality end product.

I first heard of the no sparge brewing method a couple years ago and immediately found it appealing. Listen to The Brülosophy Podcast about this variable:
