I was rifling through my equipment chest last night and found all the parts to a fly sparging setup (I've inherited most of my equipment, and I have no idea what some of it is when I get it). I've always batch sparged---from what I can tell by reading, the mean advantage to fly sparging is higher extraction of sugars and thus higher efficiency. The drawbacks include higher probability of channeling, as well as adding an hour to your brew session.
Is it worth trying out?
