What if my S40 is full and I need to add more water to reach my preboil?

Depending on your batch volume and grain absorption, sometimes the volume of sparge water required is too much when the basket is in place.

If you’re aiming for a pre-boil volume of over 40L, simply draw around 5L from the tap during the sparge and reintroduce it when the basket is removed.

1. Drain 5L (1.3 US Gal) from the tap and then continue with your sparge
2. Once the basket has been removed, re-add the removed wort, ready for the boil.
