Need clearer wort? Quicker chilling times? Perhaps higher hop utilization during flameout? Achieve all these desires and more, with the new Weldless Whirlpool Arm by Fermentap! Designed for installation underneath the handle of your kettle, this piece of equipment will allow you to achieve a perfect whirlpool in your Boil Kettle. Simply pump your wort from your ball valve, into this piece, which will jet around the inside of the kettle, forming a strong whirlpool. The advantages to a whirlpool are many. It will settle Trub in the center of your kettle, making it easy to pull clear wort from your ball valve. The whirlpool will result in a much higher chilling efficiency if using an immersion chiller, due to the increased turbulation of wort. On top of this, the increased flow will result in higher extraction of hop oils and flavor during flameout additions! The Fermentap Weldless Spigot is made of 100% stainless steel, ensuring it will be used in your brewing for years to come. It features a 1/2" Full Port ball valve and a 1/2" barb. The inner barbed elbow is 3/8". The bulkhead is a specifically engineered piece of stainless, made for brewing! It features a 1/2" MPT outlet for hooking up your ball valve directly, along with FPT on the inside for connection of any brewing accessory you might want! You will need to drill a 1" hole for installation of this weldless spigot. We recommend a Step Drill Bit for this.   Please note: this item is a kit of our Weldless Ball Valve and a MPT x Barb Elbow fitting. You will need to to thread the elbow into the bulkhead after installing it on your kettle.

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.

Traditional screen filters draw from the bottom of the kettle — immediately sucking all pellet hops and fine break material into the screen, where they plug. In Blichmann Engineering's HopBlocker™, preferential flow leaves settled fine break material (hops and trub) undisturbed at the bottom of the kettle while draining the majority of the wort through a coarse filter from the top down. When the wort level is just a couple of inches from the bottom of the kettle, the fine filter element is then exposed by lifting the shield, and the remainder of the wort is filtered. It's an intuitive design that allows the fine filter to work only on a small portion of the wort, not all of it. The HopBlocker™ will filter up to 95% of the break material and hops from your wort without plugging. While it is designed specifically to complement Blichmann Engineering's BoilerMaker™ brew kettles, the HopBlocker™can be installed in any manufacturer's kettle or keg.   PLEASE NOTE: The HopBlocker is designed for use with pellet hops only. Whole/loose hops will plug the unit. While using whole hops, or a mix of whole and pellet hops, you must bag your whole hops in a large muslin grain bag. This will not affect the utilization rate and will result in significantly less wort loss.

If you live in a hot environment where the tap water never really gets cold, it may be helpful to pre-chill your water before you even begin chilling your wort. This Pre-Chiller is designed to help you do just that, bringing your tap water down to below the final target temperature for your wort. It uses an impressively simple process to do it, but you’ll find that this is an affordable and essential part of your brewing setup. The Pre-Chiller is made up of 25 feet of copper tubing that is placed in a bucket of ice water. The in-flow is connected to the source of your tap water, while the other side is connected to your wort chiller. Once it’s all connected, you can quickly and efficiently cool your water before it even enters the wort chiller. The Pre-Chiller is equipped with brass hose fittings that can be attached to any standard garden hose. It is designed to use with our 6 gallon buckets.  Specifications: 25 feet of 1/2 inch copper tubing. Female Garden hose inlet, Male Garden hose outlet. Approx. 10" diameter, 7" to the top coil, 24" to the bend to go over the lip of the bucket.

You can tell that an immersion chiller is truly meant to last by looking at its weight and craftsmanship, and you won’t find one heavier or higher quality than this Immersion Chiller. This is a take on our wildly popular immersion chillers, but it contains brass fittings for even more durability and a larger size for 10 gallon batches. If you want to cut your chilling time down, this is the immersion chiller to choose. Our immersion chiller is made of 50 feet of ½ inch copper tubing, which is some of the highest quality tubing that you can use in your brewing process. It features brass fittings for garden hoses on either end, giving you easy access to your water supply, as well as a bend at the top to fit over the lip of the kettle. If you’re looking for a truly premium chiller to use with a 10 gallon batch in a converted keg or a kettle, this is the one for you.  The measurements are: Approx. 10" diameter, 13" to the top coil, 24" to the bend to go over the lip of the kettle.

25 Feet of 3/8" Copper Coils Raised Up To Where The Heat Is Integrated Turbulator Cools Faster and Uses 40% Less Water 25 Feet of 3/8" Copper Includes Tubing and Standard Garden House / Utility Sink Thread Manufactured in the USA Save water during the cooling process with our Super Efficient Immersion Wort Chiller. During the manufacturing process we build in an inner water turbulator that causes the cold water to spin through the coil. This reduces the laminar flow found in a standard wort chiller where only the outer water is cooled as it travels through the coil. The result is a 40% reduction in water, and faster cooling, when compared with our standard chillers.  But that is when we compare it to OUR standard chillers with the coils at the top. When you compare to other chillers on the market the results are even better. ALL of our chillers feature coils that raised up to where the heat is.  As we learned in school heat rises so when other wort chillers have all the coils on the bottom they actually never cool unless you stir your wort. The problem with stirring is that you mix up all your trub/sediment and you risk airborne contamination... neither of which is good. Our chillers cool fast and allow you to keep your lid on your kettle during the critical cooling period.  Constructed from 25' of 3/8'' copper tubing. 8' of vinyl tubing attached to both the in and the out with a female garden hose fitting on the in side. Use our CE21S hose thread adaptor to attach to your sink. Perfect for a kitchen environment where the sink is close by. This size chiller is ideal for our 8 Gallon Heavy Duty Kettles! The measurements are: Approx. 10" diameter, 8" to the top coil, 15" to the bend to go over the lip of the kettle.
