Just got done building this, which (I'm hoping) will be good for batch & fly sparging....
Does it look like it's up to the job?

I get it, the top part is a bracket to hold the sparge manifold at a specific height. It's a bit overboard when you could have just laid it on top of the mash and like Pol said, close the lid while you sparge.

The Pol said:If you use stainless, the sparge arm spins and they are made to fit round MLTs... so they cover the entire grain bed... the more even coverage you have, the less channeling you have and the better your results. Here is a video of mine in action.
The Pol said:If it wont "float" on top of the grainbed, it would be neat to have some sort of floatation device to keep it on top of the grain or water level while the lid is closed.
