Mash Tun Filter Choice?

[Stix]

I use a false bottom with a braid and copper manifold inside the braid.

i have fly sparged without a sparge arm many a times and it works just fine.i dont mind taking the extra time to do this type of sparge.once you get good at it you dont have to monitor the gravity.plus you can get higher gravity beers out of smaller mash tuns.its just a personal preferance thats all.cheers.

You haven't had an infection because you boil the wort and that kills the bad guys.

I crush pretty fine and batch sparge with a SS braided hose and never had a stuck sparge or had to pour hot water through a cup with holes in it for an hour or had to monitor the gravity while I sparge so that I don't extract tannins.

This is just an observation, don't take this the wrong way, but you seem very bitter. Let the guy fly sparge and sanitize his preboil stuff

For what its worth, I batch sparge and would never sanitize preboil, no reason to and I'm lazy on top of it.

Cheers

my new choice after today is the nylon 5 gallon bucket strainer for paint . bought at Sherwin Williams for a couple bucks . Wrap around one of them stainless steel false bottom domes or what I use a 5 gallon bucket lid modified https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f85/my-new-mash-tun-filter-376005/ Fantastic and no worry about vorlauf as it runs clean wide open on the first try.
Also this paint strainer is very good for pouring your wort through after boiling to remove grains , hops and other things you use . makes for much easier fermentation and siphoning .
