I am new to herms brewing and had a question about sparging. Should I fly or batch Sparge? Before I’d batch with my ice chest mash tun. Also how much time should I spend if I fly Sparge
My brew club (Bend Oregon) is chock full of real experts. Almost all of them fly sparge and take at least 30 minutes to an hour to sparge for a 10 gallon batch.I am new to herms brewing and had a question about sparging. Should I fly or batch Sparge?

fwiw, I run a 3V/2P single tier herms rig, recirculate during all but the first 5 minutes of the mash, and fly sparge.
One pump recirculates wort then draws from the MLT to the BK, the other pump stirs the HLT during the recirculation phase and then pushes sparge liquor through an auto-sparge to the MLT (that pump never sees wort).
I set a one quart per minute flow via the first pump output valve, leave the second pump valve wide open, and the auto-sparge does the rest...
Cheers!
