My sparge ring got stuck with grain in previous brews. Ordered this to vorlauf/recirculate/sparge without worrying about clogs.

I want to install this to a regular kettle, what other fittings do I need? thanks

Enrique A on Mar 24, 2022

BEST ANSWER: You’ll have to buy the SS brewtech bulkhead, but that’s all you’ll need to make it work besides whatever fittings you want to use for your tubing.

You will need the SSBrewtech bulkhead fitting that Morebeer sells, and something to drill your kettle.

You will need the correct-sized bulkhead & appropriate sized drill-bit/hole punch.

Is it possible to have the Vorlauf Arm MTS Assembly and the Blichmann Sparge are added to the Mash Tun prior to shipping?

I own both the mash tun and the vorlauf arm, and use both. a couple comments/answers:

--if you want to use the vorlauf arm, you also need to get the special brewtech bulkhead fitting, see:
https://www.morebeer.com/products/mash-tun-kettle-recirc-bulkhead-ss-brewtech-brewing-kettles.html
the thick wall of the insulated mash tun makes a normal bulkhead fitting unusable.
this fitting is super-easy to install -- the tun is already drilled for it.
And then, with the bulkhead fitting in place installing/removing the arm is a 5-sec job -- the arm just slips in and you hand-tighten the knurled nut.

--the blichmann autosparge arm look pretty cool (I do not have that) but it would take some adaptation...
looking at the photo I do not think it's bulkhead fitting is long enough for the wall of the SS tun....
so I guess you would need figure out a work-around.
Frankly, I like the idea of this auto-adjustable rate sparge, but I see a couple problems:
first, my grain bed (for 15-20 gal batches) is usually high enough in the tun that I don't think it would work;
and second I would not want it to always be hanging there (like when cleaning, filling the tun w/grain, etc.) and it doesn't look like it's easy to remove -- you'd have to disassemble every time?

--personally, (I know it's not automatic...) I bought the SS sparge arm, and used it a couple times, but have wound up usually using the SS re-circulation manifold, see:
https://www.morebeer.com/products/ss-brewtech-mash-recirculation-manifold.html
which can be made to connect/disconnect to that same vorlauf arm bulkhead with a short length of hose and this fitting:
https://www.morebeer.com/products/ss-infussion-mash-tun-hose-barb-38-knurled-12-fpt.html

hope this helps,

I had to drill and install my vourlaf assembly-SS brew tech seems the appropriate hole cutting bits (they work much better than a step drill) for this installation. I don't think MoreBeer does this-it's probably better for you to look at everything and decide where you want to drill according to how you have things set up anyway.

Works Great!

Works great to recirculate mash in my 10 Gal InfuSsion Mash Tun. I mostly batch sparge so this is really all i need. And like another post said it keeps the lid closed.

Does what it’s supposed to.

It fits perfectly into the Ss Infussion Mash Tun, kinda like it was made for it.

Works great and you can keep your lid closed unlike sparge arm.

My ssbrewtech mash tun came with recirc port drilled already and port mount. I tried the SA and all it did was spray all over my equipment. So I sent it back and got vorlauf arm and I’m much happier.
