"What's this stainless steel sparge-guard they mention?"
They give you a little steel grate that you lay over the grain, so as not to disturb it during the sparge. They seem to think a disturbed grain bed ruins good beer, but I read it doesn't make much of a difference elsewhere!
No harm being too safe though I reckon!
Hmm, I batch sparge, so it makes no odds to me. And when recycling the wort I just do it carefully <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

It rotate as the fly spage water come though the arm, it prevent channelling of the grain bed
Fly sparing you want a grain bed that's stable allowing the spage water to diffuse evenly through the bed, where there is generally a half to inch of water consistently above the bed. Batch sparge you can add in the water mix it up and run of the wort
I rang them up today and they said it be mid may at best before they have the buckets in from their bucket supplier. I put my name down on one anyway cos I reckon its the best gear available on t'internet without going tweaking myself (I know, oooh err missus!!)
One word of advice about them is that their wort chiller is of a small radius, especially compared to their boiler(and hard enough to conect to a hose as well). If I were starting from scratch, I'd make my own chiller, and wrao it round something wider like a cornie!!
