Spinny spargers - Wherefore art thou?

[slurp the apprentice]

Thanks everyone thats very helpful although i can't see the connection [the actual part] that allows rotation also why is it called three tier is it becos the holes in the arm are at 3 different angles?

Now i understand but what about the arm rotation question

[prolix]

it looks something like this



the plastic bits are in the photos above and easy to get

Thanks thats does look like something i could have a go at i 've got plenty of copper pipe around and some lead free solder.Regarding turning coolboxes into mash tuns i guess there isn't much difference in the insulation in the different makes i'm hoping there isn't as my mother in law is donating hers but it isn't a branded name .Guess i just fill it full of water at 67 degrees and check it 90 minutes later and if the temps not changed much go ahead and turn it into a mash tun

With water alone you'll find you get quite a temperature drop. A mash retains heat better so don't put too much reliance on water tests! As DaaB mentions, blankets/sleeping bags etc wrapped around the coolbox do the trick.

Good find, Sir.
Unable to get through on the phone at the minute, but we all get
busy spells.
Thanks!

[Western Brewer]

Didn't really find it saw the post in the bargain section and knew you were looking for one. Good luck!

Cheers Mark, I appreciate that.
Popped into B&Q yesterday and picked up a couple of watering can roses
as a fall-back plan. Would much prefer Phil's spinny one though.
