Hi, I'm going to be trying to fly sparge for the first time soon and during a dry run with just water I'm finding it difficult to get the output from the mash tun just right. I'm aiming for about 1 qt per minute. I have a silicon hose coming from the ball valve of my mash tun into a carboy, with the end laying at the bottom. When the hose end is above the collected wort, it trickles out slow so I open up the valve to suit. After the hose end is under the surface awhile it speeds up a lot due to a siphoning effect. Should I leave the hose end up high so its a constant flow or just keep practicing with the siphoning method? Would like to know how people are doing this.
