AutoSparge
£60.00
The best sparging device I have ever seen!
This simple design automatically sets the hot liquor flow rate and liquid level in your mash / lauter tun.
As you change the sparge rate into your boil kettle, the AutoSparge™ automatically responds by increasing or decreasing the hot liquor flow to compensate and keeps a constant level in the tun.
Just set it up and leave it to perform your most efficient sparge ever.
The incoming sparge liquor gently rotates on top of the grain bed to reduce channeling, oxygen pick-up, and to increase extraction efficiency without the need of a sparge arm.
The float ball and rod are stainless steel, the valve body is low-lead surface treated brass and the kit includes an 18" silicone hose with foam hose float.
Requires a 13/16" mounting hole to mount the valve body.

Lauter Tun
£45.00More detail and information
Lautering is the process in brewing in which the mash is separated into the sugary wort and the residual grain.
This is commonly achieved with a Lauter Tun.
This example is of 30 litre capacity and is fitted with a 31cm diameter False Bottom made from high quality perforated, domed stainless steel.
In the centre is a stainless steel elbow with a barbed hose fitting to draw the wort from beneath the dome.
One end of a length of hose is fitted to this elbow, the other end is connected to the back of the tap. After mashout, that is raising the mash temperature to stop the enzyme reactions and to make the mash bed more fluid, the mash is transfered to the Lauter Tun.
The runnings initially drawn from the tap at the bottom are usually cloudy and these are recirculated by pouring them back onto the grain bed until they run clear.
At this point sparging can be started. This is the process of trickling hot water on top of the grain whilst extracting the sugary wort through the tap at the bottom.
