once my hour long mash in is complete,, I then raise the grain tube via a pair of pulleys mounted overhead, the fixed one on the joist, is a one way ratcheting pulley, now using my hot liquor tank and pump I can do my sparge, meanwhile, I've programed the Brewzilla to ramp up my boil, once I get to 6 gallons of wort, I can cease sparging and roll the cart out of the way, and lower the grain tube into a tub to drain before disposal, normally, I'll be close to the boil point by the time sparge is over, once the boil begins, I add my bittering hops, I use a hop spider, I find it keeps the screens from clogging and me having to constantly stir the wort ..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
