Very simple, cheap and effective batch sparger! 48 quart coleman on its way to the landfill gets a second life.
Slightly oversized tubing is inserted through cooler drain hole, For lautering, I used a washing machine supply
hose braid, it seems a bit heavier and more substantial than the sink / toilet supply braids. Zip tie secures the braid.
12 gauge copper wire is used to hook the tubing above the wort level to control flow...down is on, and up above the wort level in the cooler is off, a caveman could do it.
No valve, no washers, no teflon tape, no leaks, stripped down to the bare essentials!
