I bought one of those nifty pumps. When do people

recirculation? Right from dough-in or when you are stepping up the temp
to sparge.
10 minutes before I'm ready to sparge I let it circulate slowly to
clear up completly before I direct the flow into my kettle.
When you run the wort back into the grain bed, do you
run it straight
from the hose or is there some best way to let the wort in without
drilling a hole into the grain bed.
For lack of anything better (and a float switch operated sparge device) I
use a lid from a food grade plastic container.
