It seemed to me that a double batch sparge was still leaving too much sugar behind so I found a 2 qt plastic measuring cup with handle and drilled about 15 small holes in the bottom to make a sprinkler tool for a final grainbed rinse. I reserve 2 qts of sparge water. After my double batch sparge I sprinkle the grainbed by pouring the last 2 qts of sparge water into the sprinkler and let it sprinkle out as I pass it slowly over the grainbed. It takes about 45 seconds to run through. The final 2qts of runnings were 1.030 so I know my technique helps. The extra step raised my efficiency several points too!
