What is the attachment at the end of their recirculating hose that is used to break up the water flow called? https://youtu.be/C4YQqIMeS14?t=1363 and where would one get such magical thing!? I've run out of keywords to search for! :mug:

Hey all, So I decided to jump feet first into the hobby. I'm a complete noob so I pretty much need(ed) to purchase everything I need to brew my first batch of beer. Here's what I've got thus far - Grainfather - I know feelings are mixed on this, but I've got space restrictions and I wanted to...
