I fly sparge and calculate the water needed plus 1-2 gallons just in case. My target is, within reason, draining the MT. I pump directly from the MT to the BK so I need to really throttle back the pump to get the last of it without creating a vacuum. I'm in the process of building a lauter grant to help with that as opposed to catching the last runnings in a bucket and pouring into the boil. My process otherwise is pretty automated and generally routine. I'm getting right at 92% efficiency now.
