This is my getto tier . I tried fly sparging for the first time .I put a SS mixing bowl on top of the grain bed and let the water run over the top. My target was to get a SG of 1.042 -.046. I collected 7 gallons of wort pre boil reading came out to 1.040 @70 degrees .
I ended up with just about 5.25 going onto the primary with a reading of 1.050-.052
The one problem I did encounter was my sparge water while it never went below 168 in the HLT I lost a significant amount of temp while Sparging .
It was about 40 out . I think I will need to insulate the Valve and tubing.
All in all I was happy with the results...
