      The problem with fly sparging through the bag is that the water takes the path of least resistance and can cause channeling and can therefore be a waste of time - fly sparging depends on a grain bed forming and the water forced to traverse the entire grain bed as equally as possible. I'd go for a dunk sparge every time. In fact this is what I'll be doing today as I'm brewing a Foreign Extra Stout for a competition and I will really need to do a sparge as it's a big grain bill.
