I used a hybrid sparging approach where I continually pumped water onto the bed, while keeping the water level above the grain bed. It seemed to work pretty well. The only tough bits were figuring out how much more I needed to add. - Its been cold here. Cold enough to keep the water bath @ like 48 during the day. Of course now they are forecasting 70s tomorrow. What can you do? - I am hoping that the heater is not needed, more of a proof of concept than anything else. If this works I will definitely use the fermentation chamber...I mean garage, more this winter.

I also can't believe you need to use a heater to ferment a lager...We're just hitting the sweet spot where I don't have to work to keep the ales cool enough... Doppel Sticke = Double Secret (like double secret probation?) Man that is alot of high grav wort!
