Been doing 60 minutes as well, then start the sparge water when I start draining the first runnings. I drain slowly, so by the time it's done, the sparge water is ready. Of course, I batch sparge, so that's super easy.

I usually start getting the sparge water ready once I mash in, but I'm also heating it on the electric stove, so it takes a while to get to temperature. And yeah, definitely batch sparge... I haven't fly-sparged in a few years.

I was reading some of his exbeerments yesterday and he has some posts for no sparge, and basically he does this any time he only makes 5 gallons. I worked up a no sparge yesterday for the wheat I am making next week, and I don't think it would quite fit in my 10 gallon cooler/mash tun. Even with the low gravity (only 10 pounds of grain) it would be at 9.6 gallons of tun space required. with the little volume lost to the false bottom, it would be too full to stir properly.
