Description

Achieve a perfect whirlpool everytime with Blichmann's weldless whirlpool kits. They come with 2 different options for the valves. You can get the Blichmann linear flow valve or a 1.5 in TC butterfly valve. Regardless of which valve you choose you can hook up a pump and get a strong whirlpool action to help you settle out some of that unwanted trub!

Note: These kits require a hole in your kettle of about 13/16 in. You may drill this hole yourself using the instructions in the documents tab or use these kits if your kettle already has a hole.

 

Lowest Price Guarantee, this item has MAP pricing so you can be confident you won't find it for less.

To make it easier for whirlpooling during the boil. Good thing is that I can swipe between the 30gal HLT fo the 50gal BK when doing smaller batches, great attachment.

In the installation instructions I don't see any mention of Teflon tape. Do you need to tape the threads to get a watertight seal?
Carlin Hebert on Feb 4, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi Carlin - on page 3 of the instruction manual, Blichmann does not recommend using teflon tape.
¿ Can I block the flow completely with the black knob in the endpoint of this valve?
Rogelio Alvez on Jul 5, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Yes. Turn it clockwise to slow or stop the flow. Turn it counterclockwise to increase the flow. It can be opened until the first thread is visible as instructed in the instructions.
What height from the bottom is best? I am moving up to 15 Gal batches but still want capability to do 10 Gal, I can do low or high. is there a best height?
Allen K Schwartz on Apr 5, 2023
BEST ANSWER: Per the manual, Prior to installing the Whirlpool, select a position on the kettle that is located near the center of the wort volume
and clear from any accessories mounted to the kettle. Be sure the assembled whirlpool will not interfere with heating
elements, dip tubes, kettle strainers, thermometers, or any other accessory. Also consider the location of the hose that will
connect to the valve. Ensure that the kettle will function properly in the brewery after the whirlpool fitting is installed and a
hose is connected to the valve.

The pin that holds it in place breaks easily, not designed very well.

Easy to install, and worked well during my water leak test following installation. Will use it for the 1st time tomorrow for whirlpooling wort.

Vortex of wort!
This works well and is the full kit - no bulkhead required. I love that it does not require a bulkhead to install since the valve is cast such that it sits against the kettle.

Crazy good whirlpool
I was torn between this and several other whirlpool fittings. Glad I chose the Blichmannn. First run, I gave it the beans - whirlpooled with 9 ounces of pellets. Let it run clockwise for about 10 mins, then let it sit for another 10-15 to settle out. Holy hop pile! The cone of pellets was about 4 inches high. I highly recommend this.

Great Addition to a Kettle
I do quite a few beers that require mostly whirlpool hops. I used a powered paddle in the past and decided to put one of these into my G2 kettle not only for hop whirlpool, but also to get a nice trub cone before chilling.

The unit is expensive in it's own right, and you need to have a decent powered drill, and requires a step bit that is capable of drilling through SS..this is about 40 dollars, and a center punch.

Overall, great product, works very nice just be aware of the extra costs that you may incur when deciding to put of of these in.

Simple and reliable
The whirlpool port was easy to install. I was a little worried about leaks because the seal is made with a single gasket, but after two brew sessions I haven’t seen any indication of leakage.
Installed in my Blichmann BoilerMaker kettle.

Another great Blichmann product
I installed this on the boil kettle of a new 27 gallon setup I acquired and first used it this weekend. Install was as easy and fast as drilling stainless steel can be. The linear valve fully disassembles for easy cleaning and it is nice to be able to control the speed of the whirlpool pending on what you are using it for. I initially used it so mix the runnings from the mash tun (I still stirred the hell out of them to make sure initial gravity readings were correct) then I used it at the traditional whirlpool. It also worked well when cleaning with PBW and Starsan. I wish I had this a lot sooner as it super useful. I would highly recommend this product.

Best addition to my kettle so far!!!
Very well made, seals tightly, easy to remove the inside tube to clean. Outside will pull out if you unscrew it enough and you can clean it as well. Well worth the money!!
Easy to pull out the arm to clean but sturdy enough that it won’t fall off if you hit it sturing .
Easy to install and does not leak. I oriented horizontally to avoid burning hoses. Nice!

Awesome
I bought the linear valve version of the whirlpool kit and it's killer. Super easy install and the linear valve makes it easy to adjust the speed of the whirlpool to whatever you need.
