Denny, I followed your batch sparging instructions from the beginning like you were the messiah. I think it's a bit ironic that you are insinuating to KISS since you have a couple of the the most fancy brewing systems on hand.
I already use conicals on the 1 bbl system. I want the luxury of harvesting yeast and not using a chamber for fermentation. I know it's more complicated, but I'm used to it and I like using them.
I use all the systems depending on what I feel like. In your case, I assumed KISS was what you were after.
