DIY Whirlpool Arm

[Ghillie]

Not much of a DIYer I must admit, but thought I'd have a crack at making a whirlpool arm for my Robobrew. Should speed up the cooling time and also aid with making a nice wee cone of trub and debris in the middle of the false bottom.

So far so good and looking forward to using it, just waiting on the type A camlock to arrive and we're good to go

Exactly what I'm looking to do for my Brew Devil. What pipe bender did you use?

One of these at my work, it's 12mm. Would be impossible to use on SS without a big vice though, unless you're built like a brick shitehouse!

I doubt I'd be able to fabricate one in SS myself but copper could be an option ....

If you have a vice, or even another pair of hands it is doable.

Copper tubing and brass fittings would work just as well though.

For the less DIY able Powell do a thru the wall whirlpool arm like that or if your after a swanneck type then angel homebrew do a version for the brew devil

Is the Brew Devil just a rebadged RoboBrew? Same dimensions etc?

I'm wondering if the Angel Homebrew accessories would fit my RoboBrew

Ask Paul for dimensions he is very helpful in that way
