Description

The Blichmann AutoSparge is extremely helpful when sparging or recirculating your mash. Designed to regulate the flow of liquid being allowed onto the top of your grain bed. If the floating ball is all the way down, the flow rate will increase. As the ball begins to rise with the liquid level, the flow rate slows down, preventing an overflow. Simple, yet effective! Requires at least a 12" inner diameter kettle, keg, or cooler. Includes 18" of silicone tubing and foam tubing float ring.


Installation requires a 13/16" mounting hole. Max 10 psi; cannot accommodate city/well water pressure.

I think this will resolve a flow issue I’m having during recirculation.

Provides Nice MT level control
This device does exactly what it says it will do. If you are fly sparging or just recirculating your mash you no longer have to monitor levels or rates from one vessel to the next. Once you set the float level it will add just enough liquid in a throttling fashion. It is very nice.

Great Concept & Nice Accessory
I have two of these now and they work great. One issue is adjusting the level if necessary once the (very) hot liquid is flowing as it will pour onto your fingers. You need to select & set the desired/envisioned level as best possible to start with particularly with small (5 gal or less) batches to facilitate effective/efficient wort recirculation or sparging. Secondly, I personally think it would be a benefit to have more teeth on the adjustment gears in order to provide a greater range of float setting heights. Otherwise, great concept and I'll continue to use them. Cheers!

I dig it!
Good quality. Easy to install and operate. Just be careful. First time I used it I was too busy playing around with it and not paying attention and ended up spargiing way too fast. lol...

Incomplete Package
I wouldn't bother unless you're going to shell out for the extra rod lengths also. These should really be included. I bought it not knowing if the rod it comes with would be long enough. Guess what - it wasn't. I still don't know which one I need, so I'll end up buying both of the extensions.
It's also not great that the valve can't handle a bit more pressure than it does without leaking.
But it seems like when I have enough parts and get things adjusted it will do a fine job.

Good product. A couple of areas of concern.
The auto- sparge works as described. I wish you could order it with the specific length sparge arm that you needed. Better yet, have adjustment for the length (ie clap on extendable float arm). The arm it came with was too long for my FF 5 gal batch mash tun cooler. Secondly, it would be nice to have something to support the auto sparge in the wall of the cooler. There is a fair amount of movement at the point of attachment. The FF cooler has a thin inner wall. This may lead to failure of the wall of the mash tun with time.
