Sparge Arm

[woolley2002]

Can you buy a sparge arm that will connect to HLT (in my case a water boiler /tea urn) so I can sparge my grain in my All in one system?

If there isn't anything suitable to do this has anyone made one and would be willing to share info/pictures so I can make one.

I’ve seen this kind of thing used, but I don’t use one myself. It’s £10 on this site but you could probably make it with bits for less than £5... I would probably pay the £10 though and not have the faff:

I used to use something similar to the Alibaba link above. They're readily available from various UK suppliers (but at a bit more cost than Alibaba!!!) . Unless you've got a decent vertical drop though you need to turn the valve of your HLT open enough to get a good flow to spin the arm.

I now use a silicone shower head "sparge diffuser"...

That’s really interesting Nick, thanks for that.
