After the timer goes off I cut the ball valve on the outlet of my pump to about 1/2 open, move the re-circulation tubing to the boil kettle, and as the water drains I top off the water to keep it above the grain bed.


Outflow from mash tun is full speed?

yeah, you don't want to restrict the flow on the inlet on those march pumps bc you can lose your priming.

So if you want to slow down the flow rate you have to put the ball valve on the outlet of the pump.

This is exactly how I manage my sparge, I may go slightly slower than you but how hot it is has a direct impact on how fast I sparge.
