snipped confusing c/p from no-sparge pros and cons to batch sparge. added external link w/ photos
'''Advantages:'''
*Not the simplest of the sparging methods, but a good compromise and a close second.
*Does not require special equipment because channeling is not a concern. Any apparatus that will drain the liquid without allowing “chunks” is acceptable.*Does not typically extract tannins*Speed, it is a fast procedure potentially shortening your brewing day*Makes a maltier beer, there is quite a bit of discussion on enhanced maltiness of the beers produced with this and the “batch sparge” method below. Here is a quote from George Fix ( httpBrad Smith://hbd.org/hbd/archive/977.html#977"much higher efficiency than no-3 ) “I have found that to get a very high malt flavor the sparge must be omitted as well. This is an expensive way to brew since the amount of grains needed must be increased by a factor ~4/3. Nevertheless, some of the world's great ales and lagers have been brewed this way, and I have found it works in homebrewing as well for special beers. Clearly this is not the way to brew our standard beers.”"
'''Disadvantages:'''
*Brewing "a homebrewer fly sparging might achieve 73% brewhouse efficiency is decreased as while a good fraction of the potential fermentable sugars are not extracted. (See quote from George Fix above)batch sparger might only get 66% brewhouse efficiency."*Is not practical for big beers"stirring the mash upsets the grain bed, requires a very significant increase in allowing more tannins and grain bill for high gravity brewsbits to make it into the wort.*Not suited for To reduce this risk, some brewers use a beer that should not have a malty profilehybrid batch sparge method where they add sparge water slowly to the top and avoid stirring or completely draining the mash tun."
