Bare with newbie question - I've not brewed AG yet - but sparging methods are keeping me awake at night :?
I've acquired a used HERMS setup, it came with a spinning sparge arm and a sparge sprayer (inverted cone), so naturally I have researched how to use these devices. The HERMS system approach is to use fly sparging following recirculation, but I have read many different methods in use and concern over hot side aeration.
Watching the electric brewery methods they just have a silicon hose just resting on top of the mash, or just below it for both recirculation and sparging......so what gives?

What sparging methods are people using in their HERMS systems?
