Autosiphon Dime Fix Update; BIAB Water Absorption Rate

I just brewed today and experimented a little with my autosiphon.  In my last entry, I mentioned that I had fixed a problem with the little valve thing popping out of my autosiphon by dropping a dime into the larger tube.  Today, I tried using a nickel, but it kept sinking and blocking off the flow of liquid.  Then I tried two dimes, which seemed to get the siphon started faster.

Besides that, I noticed that the absorption rate of liquid using my dunk sparge brew in a bag method was 0.5 Gal/per Lb of grain (sorry I don't have a metric conversion).
