Howdy y'all. I have completely geeked out on brewing in the short span of 2 months and am in the process of getting my first AG rig set up.
My delima is this - I've got a MLT and a HLT that each have their own burners and I'm trying to either figure out whether to rig one of the burners on top of something and gravity flow the fly sparge or get a pump and avoid the logistical issues of rigging and running a 50,000 btu burner and HLT at an altitude of 3-4 feet.
Anyone have any strong opinions on gravity v. pump? I'm kinda leaning gravity on account of my preference to eliminate moving parts when possible and keep things simple (I'm a simple guy).
Any and all thoughts, opinions and annecdotes are helpful - I'm really new at this.
