Try a sintered stone and pure O2. Results are better in my view and the cost relatively small for the effect. Treat oxygen with a lot of respect.

I actually want it to distribute the wort back into the mash in a herms setup, I want something that 100%wont get blocked with grain, hop and grape are out of stock , i did check most suppliers before asking here.

Take a look at this. It really doesn't have to be complicated.

Does it really confer any advantage? I do think we brewers over complicate things at times. :D

You don't get channeling. If you recirculate the mash grains settle out to provide a very even sieve, as long as you have an inch or so of liquour above the grains you're good to go. :wink:

I think the major benefit of continuous sparging over batch sparging is the clarity of wort and it's less messing about.
