Why do you do what you do?

... a mesh lined bottling bucket for sparging.

Will try this method next go'round.
Curious to see how much crud it traps.

I do BIAB. And I "do what I do" because....

I have a fermentation chamber that can handle a 5g fermenter, tops -- meaning, 4g batches, max. I mostly use a 3g Better Bottle, so the majority of my batches are 2.5g, or half-batches. When I go bigger, it's usually 3.5 to 4g, max.
Doing full-blown recirculating/sparging for a half-batch seems like a lot of extra work and time, compared to BIAB. Plus, at the smaller batch sizes, I'm not dealing with a crazy amount of grain to lift, drain and squeeze. Plus, it means one less piece of equipment to own.

Form follows function, as they say...
