Great addition to any brew/mash kettle!
Great addition to any brew/mash kettle!
Works great! Easy to install.
Creates a nice whirlpool. Installation is tricky, because the instructions do not say where exactly to install on the kettle, but the morebeer staff is very professional and prompt with emails. I'd like to see some sort of whirlpool device/arm that doesn't require drilling.
I tapped a hole in my 20 gallon Blichmann kettle, attached this unit and sets up a great whirlpool, even using 15 gallon batches
I have just ordered by second one for my upgraded system and love this thing. Do need some real tools to get the 1" hole in kettle. I have had no issues with cleaning this piece and very little extra time has been required just recurc PBW thru system as always and give some time.Great addition to any boil keg.
Quality is there just needs full bore fittings.
This is a great product. I added it to our keggle for whirlpool and recirculating for cooling. Easy install. Quality fit and finish.
Home-brew heaven. Used a Greenlee 730BB-1 Standard Round Knockout Punch Unit, 1-Inch, to punch a clean round hole in Blichmann BoilerMaker 10 Gal. Easy. (I will likely get additional use out of this modestly expensive tool as 1 inch diameter holes are useful, e.g., my transfer tubes OD are
I agree with the earlier comment about the tools needed. All that said, I installed one on my 15 gallon heavy duty boil kettle, the installation went well and the unit performs great when coupled to a march pump. You need some manly tools to tighten it so it doesn't drip, but overall I would give it 5 stars.
This weldless whirlpool fitting is a really nice product. For all the components that are built into it, it's a great value. The whirlpool, once installed, works very well. The biggest draw back is the need for the 1" hole to be drilled. The recommended step bit for drilling this out will cost you $45 to $80 depending on the quality of bit you buy. On top of that, your typical cordless drill may not be able to handle that size bit. Do you research first, if you don't own the tools, it may be cheaper to find somebody to weld a fitting for you. Cheers!
Will this whirlpool a 1bbl batch? Or is it too small?
I would think it would be too small. I use it for 5 gal batches and would rate it adequate. you will need at least 1/2 id pipe throughout to properly whirlpool 15 gal.
Can I buy? Bulkhead 90 degree barb and 1.5 inch tri-clamp Thinking of adding to lid
Yes! We carry all of the parts that you need for your build.
