Stout Tank Mash Tun - Sparge options

[homebrewdude76]

When I bought my stout mash tun I skipped their sparge device.

I read that the flow required to make it work was to much flow to fly sparge.

So I went with locline and batch sparged for the past 7 years.

I see they have a Vorlauf tube now.

Anyone with a Stout mash tun, what are you using???

Who makes that??? Looks like a CIP ball type device.

Yeah , I believe it's a static cip.It works great for mashing and sparging .

Interesting... Will look into a static one. Looks a lot better then the Stout brand device.

Yeah , I don't know where he got it. The ball and pipe only have the holes on 1 half .

Modified SS Brewtech sparge manifold
- added SS floats
- drilled out holes in arms

Sits just below the liquid surface, works great for mash recirculation and sparge

What's wrong with using the locline?
