Has anyone tried one of these as opposed to a false bottom or bazooka tube? Looks interesting...

I want one NOW. That looks awesome. The only place I can find in the US that carries it is Austin Home Brew. May have to wait until tax return but I plan on getting one.
I do understand. thank you... I recirculate with my system and will be using this under another false bottom.. I thought about tipping it while using it but would rather not.Hi,
at the end of lautering and sparging there will remain some (very thin) wort on the bottom your lautering tun. It is caused physically by the height of the lowest point of the sided hole in your container.
I tip at the end the container to let it run out. This rest of wort, most times muddy, I recycle to the top. After running through it is totally clear and I can take it out by decanting.
In this way, you'll loose almost nothing of extract.
The inner diameter of the wire spiral is approximately 16,25mm. (82/128")
PS: sorry for my german accent of my school english, I do hope, you understand me.
I thought the same, It does work..but in my kettle the coils were too close and it cut the flow on my flowmeter. Also the tall height with the tee meant like 1/2 gallon of liquid stayed in my MT when draining which I didnt like.All the ones I've seen have a 1m length coil.
Thanks, I guess I'll have to pass on it. Seemed like a cool idea though.
Well, I'm fairly happy with my bazooka tube and I'd certainly recommend it, but I'm curious if this would make any improvement to my system.My friends in Germany use it and are happy with it.
They don't pump, I'm afraid.Well, I'm fairly happy with my bazooka tube and I'd certainly recommend it, but I'm curious if this would make any improvement to my system.
Do your friends pump circulate? I have a RIMS, so I need good flow. Seems like flow restriction was augie's main problem with it and the specs say not to use with a pump.
