All Grain Brewing / Re: When to recirculate mash
« on: Today at 01:01:46 AM »So, I have added a pump to my equipment and now have the capability to underlet mash, recirculate mash, and whirlpool while chilling. I do not have the capability to direct fire the mash to maintain heat (I use a blue Coleman Extreme) though a RIMS tube is a pre-planned Improvement. Until then — when I’ll constantly recirculate — I am wondering when to begin a recirculating vorlauf. I’ve read at the end of a 60 min mash for 30 min (90 min total) and I’ve read at 30 min into the mash for 30 min (60 min total). My goal is crystal clear wort into the kettle. What is the consensus?

Definitely don’t think you need that much time. Use some sort of a circular recirc return (locline or the SS circle return) and run it for like 10-15 minutes at the end of the mash.
Constant recirc will be something you’ll learn to love when you get there.
