Not sure I get it. Why not just sparge via gravity from the HLT?

This is exactly the upgrade I'm looking for

An interesting change. My only concern is the loss of efficiency with that sparge method. You will not have good coverage over the grain bed. You could attach a sparge arm to it with a motor that will move the flow of water around.

Then I have a surplus of sparge water flow, I can strangle it using the original valve (red) and maintain a steady level (5-10mm) above the grid. Poor visibility in the video. I have thought about adding a rotating arm but this seems to do the job

Surely that's what the top plate's for - it will distribute the water load across the grain bed.

What size 3-way valve is this? Thanks and great work!

Is there somebody who can make a level indicator on the GF30 in order to Sparge the right volume of Sparge water? After that upgrade this upgrade make more sense IMO.

Hi Mikael. I love the way you have "industrialised" the Grainfather with what looks like bulletproof valves and commercial style seals. There are always ways of making things better and what you have come up with is definately a step in the right direction. Im not totally sure about your sparging method and not being able to direct and control the flow while sparging. Either way, keep up the brilliant engineering ideas. Cheers

Hello B Mac. thanks for the comment. Everything is stainless material. you could make this in brass or copper. As you say in the comment there are always ways of making things better. I have some new ideas of improving my GF in the future. Then I have a surplus of sparge water flow, I can strangle it using the original valve (red) and maintain a steady level (5-10mm) above the grid. Poor visibility in the video

very well thought out upgrades. looks very clean.

Great idea. A couple questions: 1. Would you mind providing a parts list and how you did that? It looks great 2. Did you buy a new recirc arm and just lengthen it?

Parts list?

Hey Mikael! This is really awesome! I was sitting around thinking about how to make this work and stumbled upon your video. Man, would you be willing to build this for me?(I would pay of course) Let me know if you have any interest. I have no possibility of welding this up myself. Awesome work man!

same here!

Love the automated sparge setup. Brilliant 👍🏻 This is just clever, and I thought about dong this. How do you experience the sparge time? Any side effect on mash efficiency? Use a ball valve to restrict/increase flow? the versatility with the added ball tap is now on my list👍🏻 welll done! Happy brew days 🍺

Please build me the piece! That is a great idea! It would also be nice if they had a whirlpool arm that could be added.

Hej Läste längre ner att du är svensk, kan du snälla beskriva var man får fatt i grejerna du har gjort.

how is the efficiency?

It is too early to give a number. But the last brewing, I got slightly higher OG then i was aiming for. 1067 and got 1071

nice. i meant mash efficiency. the efficiency into the kettle. just wanted to check as it seems the sparge was happening quite fast :)
