i have been fly sparging for awhile now since making my setup with two Igloos. For a ten gallon batch it works great. For a 5 gallon, it never seems like i have enough water to really keep it above the grain bed like i want. At this lower volume of mash, should I just drain and batch sparge or is the hotter water doing it's job, regardless of the quantity above the bed?
relevant info:
2 36 qt coolers
1.75 usual strike ratio qt/lb
strike at 170-175
mash 60 minutes usually (sometimes 90) at 155
