Sparge arm

(That's water to the rest of us!) Beer is about 95% water, so if you want to discuss water treatment, filtering etc this is the place to do it!

Does anyone know how to make a good reliable sparge arm that will keep on the move during the process of fly sparging

A sprinkler pipe with holes in it. Alternatively just flow onto the top of the bed which has some sort of diffuser screen on it. Listermann no longer exports his stuff. It also throws away a lot of heat unless you cover the tun.

beware 'fly sparging' is a US expression which may puzzle micro and other commercial brewers (and indeed home brewers who dont spend their time lurking on the Internet). Wheeler uses the term to indicate keeting the mash floating above the false bottom / manifold. Sparging is the usual term in the UK.

Many of the US suppliers carry the Listermann products.....I'm just not sure which ones ship internationally.....I know MoreBeer does....
