Have you longed for a sparging system with a "set-it-and-forget-it" design? The elegantly simple construction of Blichmann Engineering's AutoSparge™ automatically sets the hot liquor flow rate and liquid level in your mash tun. As you change the sparge rate into your boil kettle, the AutoSparge™ automatically responds by increasing or decreasing hot liquor flow to compensate and keeps a constant level in your mash tun.   Newly redesigned - 100% stainless steel, improved o-ring mounting and 1/2" NPT thread.   The AutoSparge™ level and flow control system is an awesome accessory for RIMS systems, and it also works great with gravity systems or with pumps! Wort gently rotates on top of the grain bed to reduce channeling and oxygen pick-up, and to increase extraction efficiency. With a constant hot liquor level over your grain bed, complicated rotating sparge arms are unnecessary!   ·         Stainless steel float ball, float arm, and valve body!   ·         Includes 18" silicone hose and stainless steel hose float ball.   ·         Fits any kettle larger than 12" in diameter, including converted kegs.   ·         Comes equipped with 6" float arm.  9" and 12" float arms available separately for increasing range              of motion. Min pot diameter for longer float arms is 15" and 18" respectively.

Make sure your Therminator stays clean with the Back-Flush Hose Assembly. Just attach this hose to your Therminator immediately after you cool your wort and flush out the plates before bacteria has a chance to form.

When wort is too cold, you get long lag times and increased opportunities for bacterial infection. When it’s too hot, off-flavors can form. Blichmann Engineering’s patented ThruMometer™ lets you get it just right – letting you adjust wort and water flow rates in your counterflow heat exchanger to dial in an exact temperature, with no more guesswork! Available to fit 3/8" ID hose and 1/2" ID hose.  Plus, use only the water you need – good for the environment and your wallet!

The Blichmann ThruMometer In-line Thermometer is a great way to know the temperature of your wort while it's being transferred. Very helpful when using a counterflow or plate chiller to read the temperature of your wort going into the fermenter. Made of heat-treated highly corrosion resistant aluminum. Reads from 58°F - 88°F, and has 3/8" in and out posts. Note- Clean with mild detergent only, using warm (no hotter than 140°F) water. Do not soak in the same bucket as other metals, as this could result in galvanic corrosion to the aluminum. After use, dry thoroughly and store in the protective plastic tube.

The RipTide™ (Tri-Clamp model only) has been taken to the next level with a design modification to be the ultimate work horse. Now it eliminates the easy-to-loose thrust washer and showcases a PRV vent barb that will allow for mess free priming. This version will improve the overall brewing experience and operation. Again, this change is currently only on the TC RipTide™. Gone are the days of  making do with a general purpose pump such as the March 815 and all the variant imported copies.  These pumps are cumbersome to disassemble, difficult to prime to get the wort moving, require the addition of a valve, a switch, and a proper base to hold the pump upright.  They also use noisy open motors that must be shielded from liquids.  All undesireable attributes for a homebrewing pump!  The team of homebrewers at Blichmann Engineering and our friends at March Manufacturing have created the RipTide™ to solve all of these problems! High performance curved blade impeller and strong rare earth magnets deliver 7 GPM and up to 21ft of head pressure! Carbon Fiber Dry Run Protection increases the life of your impeller and resists damage during accidental dry runs Tri-clamp head connection fully disassembles in seconds for easy cleaning 1.5" tri-clamp inlet and outlet connections Totally enclosed motor is splash proof and super quiet (50 dB) Integral linear flow valve for superior flow control - don't spend more money for a separate valve and fittings. Integral air vent valve and partially enclosed impeller design allows you to prime the pump in seconds - no more frustrating air locked pumps! Stainless steel head rotates 360 degrees to fit in virtually any installation Large stable base with protective rubber feet keeps the pump from tipping Convenient power switch on the base Includes a 10ft long cord with plug (120V) Base acts as a cord wrap for convenient storage Assembled in USA from USA and imported components

Using the WineEasy™ combined fermentor and press is admittedly different than anything on the market, but is incredibly easy to use and provides results and ease of use that traditional fermenting and pressing techniques simply can't offer. At the heart of the system is a high quality stainless primary fermentor (20, 30 and 55 gal sizes). A uniquely designed false bottom located at the bottom of the fermentor allows the pomace to be separated from the wine while draining the unit. The tines on the pressure plate support the bottom of the fermentor and perforated false bottom and keep it from collapsing from the pressure imparted by the vacuum pump. After alcoholic fermentation, the free run is drained or pumped out of the fermentor. The sliding piston assembly is then installed. The vacuum pump evacuates the carboy (or other vacuum capable vessel) and applies a vacuum under the false bottom of the WineEasy fermentor. This causes atmospheric pressure to push down on the sliding piston pressing the pomace to the ideal maximum pressure of 14 PSI to avoid hard press conditions. Since this is all done without transferring the pomace to a press, and is done so in a completely closed and air tight system, oxidation and contamination are virtually eliminated. Cleanup is as easy as scooping out the dry pomace into a container and washing out the high polish stainless steel fermentor! Please click here to view the WineEasy Buying Guide Features: No messy transfers to a secondary fermentor Less risk of contamination and oxidation Great press efficiency Fast Easy to use Simple mess-free cleanup Produce consistently superb wines Please Note: This 20 gallon Wine Easy requires at least 6.6 gallons of must to press effectively.

These are Leg Extensions for use with the 20 and 30 gallon Blichmann WineEasy Fermentors. These will allow you to gravity drain your Fermentor into carboys or other vessels. These legs are not for use with the 55 gallon unit, as it is too large to be safely supported by the legs. Please Note: The Vacuum Pump Kit, which you will need for pressing, will allow you to transfer out of the WineEasy regardless of height via the vacuum created.
