Lauter comes before sparge.
Okay so actually just try to rinse the grain after I lautered as much as I could?
Hello,
I lauter using a stainless steel bucket and false bottom with holes which is located around 5 cm above the bottom of the bucket, since I need space for the spigot. I brew around 3 gallons batches. I pour the mash into bucket, put all my sparge water in it, wait 15 minutes and lauter. After the wort is clean (vorlaut) I slowly begin lautering.
I get around 70 to 75% eff.
I am however not sure if this is good technique or should i try to do lauter and then add sparge water and rinse the mash.
Thanks.

I’ve had to do that at a nanobrewery, it works much better than I thought it would. Only difference is I would add the sparge water first, then and gently, the mash.
