Considering going over to BIAB for such brews or batch sparging (Matt's suggestion).

I don't think a spinning sparge arm is quite right in a cubic MT, maybe some array of pipes and dribble holes might work.
I can recommend HERMs ;-) it's kinda recirc and batch all in one never fails!!!!

I can recirc with a jug ;-)
(and often do)

I'm going to look for a copper watering can rose, that should do the trick.

Ah yes but do you recirc 360 litres I find this to be best for max efficiency. Joking aside the the watering can idea sounds like a winner.

I always used to batch sparge alot less hassle and just as good efficiency
