Do you recommend a mash temp sparge or cold sparge? Also, do you have a link to any pump/river systems that would work for this setup?

I'm just getting back into brewing after a 2 year hiatus and want to get more serious again. Today I started my first 5 gal batch of my Speckled Cow Recipe (a spotted cow knockoff). The original recipe I copied from another brewer called for a 10 min sparge. I am a BIAB brewer and from what I...
