I am a batch sparger and I am still a little foggy as to why it is so much better to drain the sparge so slowly. I've heard and read people saying it is to get more sugars off of the grain, but I don't think it has any effect. I feel like the longer you let the grain sit in the sparge water, the better the effect. The sparge water is going to dissolve the sugars left on the grain. Once the sugars are in solution, they don't separate. So, the drain speed should have nothing to do with it.
