I made mine out of copper and then drilled holes in it. Then backfilled half the holes since i have crap water pressure lol.
Do you know what the threads are on this bad larry? I might need to remake my sparge setup.No need. They make a sparge spreader: "Sarge" - $9.99 (see photo and follow link: https://www.morebeer.com/products/kegland-sergeant-sparge-head-wort-speader-aerator.html )View attachment 28239
those things are so useful! we used those to aim our air knives on the canning line and to aim our twist rinse sprayers!
1/2" locknut according to the video. You can find the spread covareg in some youtube videos too - easily covers the small brewzilla and I imagine your pump pressure will dictate the spray diameter.Do you know what the threads are on this bad larry? I might need to remake my sparge setup.
how much area does it cover when spraying?

Sparging is the process of spraying hot liquor (brewing water) over the grain bed to rinse off more of the sugars and other substances extracted from the crushed grains to improve efficiency. If your process provides more sugars for the yeast to eat on, then less grain is needed to achieve the same ABV.I have no idea what a Sparge arm is, but CPVC (not PVC) has the temperature range you are looking for.
As an aside and with no intentions of sidetracking here, but does your Mash tun hold temperature constant? Is it even necessary to recirculate and Sparge? I’m honestly curious. What’s the gain…the cost-benefit ratio? I swear that I’m not trying to be a jerk (at least, this time). As a simple BIAB’er, I‘m just trying to understand. Are there clear differences between a beer mashed and left alone vs. one mashed, recirculated and rinsed? I find this stuff fascinating.

some of my favorite industrial legos for sure. plus they are fun colors lolAnd they really stay put. Not hard to move em, but they don't wander
Looks quite technical for a sparge armSince you're looking into sparge arms and might stumple on the Blichman Autosparge, I have one and I don't recommend it. Not trying to disparage it, its just not all that.
So I'm following this thread for ideas what to replace it with.
So it has a float switch to cut it when the water reaches a specific height? Im not sure why you would need that for sparging, but it would be useful for a lot of other applications.Since you're looking into sparge arms and might stumple on the Blichman Autosparge, I have one and I don't recommend it.

I think it was designed for recirc use. Supposed to cut off the pump before you overflow your mash pot.So it has a float switch to cut it when the water reaches a specific height? Im not sure why you would need that for sparging, but it would be useful for a lot of other applications.
your volume shouldnt change if you are doing a standard recirc right? i could see it being for batch sparging though.I think it was designed for recirc use. Supposed to cut off the pump before you overflow your mash pot.
Technically yes, but if you have a 7 gallon pot, 5 gallon of liquid, you can pump out under the bag or false bottom faster than it drains. I have nearly overflowed many timesyour volume shouldnt change if you are doing a standard recirc right? i could see it being for batch sparging though.

Did you print those?
No, they are called loc-line. You can get them on AmazonDid you print those?
