Nice! So this could be used for recirc while mashing and for fly sparging? On a different subject, do u have a video on batch sparging with an all in one system like a brewzilla?
@@Rubio_Eric yes you can use it for both. I don't have a video batch sparging on these systems. You can do it but that's not the way they were intended to be used. Fly sparge is the best way to get the most efficiency. 👍🍻
Just purchased everything yesterday from the links in the description. The #10 screw will NOT fit the hole in the small washer. I recommend boring it out with a 3/16" bit and making my hole in the strap the same size. Screw fits perfect after that! I had been looking for something like this for some time now. Great build.
Yeah that's part of the reason why I wanted to do it there were a lot of difficult things to do with the restaurant supply store version as well as the parts issue.. I put links in the description in case your home Depot doesn't have the parts that I used. 👍🍻
Nice job :) Make sure whomever is making this that all your metal components are stainless (even though it doesn't mention that in the image). Many of these can be found either regular uncoated steel or zinc coated. Just just be mindful to go into the stainless parts section :)
Just brewed in my GF with my BIAB following your vid on the BIAB company and used 2 teaspoons back to back inserted in the recirc silicon pipe of the GF - worked great, surpassing my expected numbers. Will have a go at the revised recirc part in the vid. Like the work around practices you use, much cheaper than buying the real deal.
Watch for supposed stainless steel worm clamps. The worm screw in a LOT of these are mild steel, not stainless steel. May not be entirely apparent, but if you get rust showing up after a few uses, then the worm is plain steel.....
Great video and properly explained as usual! I’ll definitely be changing my spare arm. I use the orange snake looking arm on my BrewZilla. I feel this will be way easier to maneuver. Thank you ! 🍻👽
Great video 😎 I have always used copper pipework and brass or stainless steel fittings and never had any problems. Just made a sparge arm for my new brewster beacon, cost me about £20 all in. Cheers
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Thats interesting thanks for the advice! I am a water production technician and have over a decade of experience. Lead was the concern associated with brass fittings and taps but in 2014 they stopped using lead in the alloy to make brass. The zinc would corrode allowing a porous surface to then allow Lead to leech into the water. This is also why a small residual of PO4 (phosphoric acid) is dosed at water treatment plants as its attracted to lead and forms a molecular coating to stop this from happening. Its also important that the water leaving production plants has a neutral PH as this will inhibit any corrosion on the water network from taking place. As i only use brass for sparge water its PH and chemical structure remains unchanged from the tap so i think the alcohol will affect my health far before the zinc does 🤣🤣. I have never heard of zinc causing health issues until now you have mentioned this. I wilo go away and do some research into this as im genuinely interested I will still be replacing the single brass fitting with a stainless steel camlock now you have mentioned it though. Cheers, keep on brewin 🍻
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers just put it together. It works as advertised! Thanks for this. Been looking for a solution for awhile since my system is frankenstein eBIAB. Cheers!
Interesting, I'm in the middle of experimenting with a few home made recirc manifold designs including a few similar to this one. I was wondering what to use for strapping and really like the duct connector concept. I'll probably have some video on the experiments in a month or so.
Well done. I'd like to make something like this to 'upgrade' the Clawhammer Supply BIAB spray nozzle that they include on their kit lids. It seems to work ok, but the flow rate always seems too low. Not much volume recirculating. Something like this mounted under the lid to their QD connects might be worth while.
@@ElementaryBrewingCo you might hold off just a little bit. If you have some tools and know how. I'm doing a complete BIAB DIY build soon. That's is cheaper and more flexible IMO. 👍🍻
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers After changing things up a little (since I could not get the applicable washer sizes here in Nova Scotia, Canada), I built it this past weekend. After a quick test, it was easily to tell that it'll work like a charm. Thanks a million for this fantastic video, Short Circuit Brewer!
I have a camlock on trip and barb on the inside of the cooler mash tun top, This sprays into a collinder at the top of the grain bed. If prefer using something like in the video but I'm not sure how to make the arm part adjustable? I guess I could cut several different length hoses, but wondering if you have any ideas.
Do you use this with the malt pipe and screen, or have you stopped using those? Do you use this with the flow restricting clamp that came with the anvil pump?
I would use it without the screen if I was using the malt pipe. I would also use it with a brew bag with or without the malt pipe. And yes you would still use the restriction clamp with the anvil pump. The video shows the pump wide open with no restriction. The thumbnail trickle you see is with about 60% flow cut off. 👍🍻
Brian, just curious if you have ever had a chance to use the SS Brewtech 1 bbl electric brewhouse? I'm considering getting one for a nano brewery but can't find any reviews on it. Thanks.
Hi Brian, great video again. I’ve been waiting for ages, for one of these to come back into stock. www.craftbrewer.com.au/siphon-spray-wort-aerator. I don’t know if it will work as well as yours, it could be to small. If I can’t get one soon, I’ll see if I can find all the parts here in Brisbane, to make yours. Thank you for your videos.
All parts used in this build need to be stainless steel. I have linked all the parts that I used in this video in the description. 👍🍻

Very nicely thought out and explained Brian. Good points raised around brass in shower heads also :)
Thanks David I do love the DIY stuff!! And using ordinary products to come up with solutions for brewing. Part of what makes this hobby so fun! 👍🍻

I wish I saw this a couple months ago when I spend $40+ rigging up the Clawhammer spray valve on the foundry. Great job
Sorry man!! Thanks.. 👍🍻
Thank you, a great informative video, keep up the good work
I like to see resourceful ideas I always have more pride in something I did my self.
Good job 👍🏻
Same here!! I love to DIY! 👍🍻
Haaaaa!! I was one of those guys asking about the shower head....Thanks Brian!! Been waiting for Poor man’s version !! I’m on it

Brass is definitely not good to use. The wort can leech zinc into your beer. You might not taste it but it's not good for your health. 👍🍻

EXACTLY!! Thanks Bradley! 👍🍻
Would love to see a video on how this works on a actual brew day. Have you used it? How did it work for you? Thanks Again Brian
Haven't used it yet. But my previous design works awesome. So I have no doubt this will be the same. 👍🍻
Can you get an all stainless sprinkler head, saw one the other day and thought that would work, yet to find a stainless steel one though
Yeah they are hard to find. 👍🍻
Isn't screws and washers are zinc plated?
I chose stainless steel. I would not use zinc plated.
May be a stupid question, but would this build function via gravity (so long as the HLT is above the tun) or is a pump required? Cheers!
This will definitely work with gravity no issues at all 👍🍻
