Can anyone recommend a good sparge arm or head? Right now we’re using a diy setup. Looking for something we can get better coverage with that can also be used for vorlauf. I know GW Kent makes one but haven’t seen many opinions on it.

When you want to vorlauf then take off the two sparge arms and vorlauf through the two open ends of the “Y”Last edited by Catfish002; 07-22-2019, 06:19 AM.

Water at sparge temperatures will pick up negligible amounts of oxygen so tradition spray arms are not a problem. Any cold water addition to control the temperature will introduce more oxygen than will be picked up in half a second falling to the top of the grain bed. If they were, people like Huppman, Krones etc wouldn't use them (I know they don't always use them nowadays, but oxidation of malt was considered a flavour problem to pale lager beers long before they started to change over to spreader plates, and where they have a large depth of water sat on the bed, unlike a traditional mash tun operation.dick
