Ultimate Sparge Arm on a Keggle

[thatleetboy]

Has anyone tried to mount a More Beer Ultimate Sparge Arm on a Keggle?

I'm concerned that it is designed to only fit over the narrow wall of a standard pot. MoreBeer advises me that "The sparge arm may fit around the neck of the keggle, but it depends on how wide a hole you cut on the top of the keg. In some cases I have seen customers have to cut an inlet into the neck so they can fit the sparge arm onto the kettle.". I am not sure whether to do this, or have the mounting plate modified.

I am curious as to whether anyone else has tried doing this, if there are solutions you can share... Pictures would also help.


Thanks.

I was searching for an answer to this question. What did you end up doing?

It turns out that this product requires some modification to fit on a keggle, it is designed for a narrow walled vessel. My quick solution worked, so I didn't go to the trouble of proceeding with this incredible looking sparge arm.
My quick solution was to grab a Cuisinart Steamer Pot insert (at a thrift store, $3). It works perfectly IMHO. Not as sexy as the Ultimate Sparge Arm, but it works!

$147 savings! Sure the other looks fancy, but think of the malt your could buy for that kind of money.

I like this copper fly sparge arm you made. Looking at the pics it's hard to tell what you used to clamp to the pipe and rest on the edge of the keggle.
Can you help me with this please?

Ive looked into some of these sparge arms. I just cant pull the trigger for the prices. I will end up making something down the road out of copper most likely, but for now, my colander does a fantastic job.
