TRUE Weldless Bulkheads from Brew Hardware!

TrueBulkheadBarb-2T

True Weldless bulkheads are available in a number of configurations for varied applications.  The 5/8″ Barb version is included in their Cooler Conversion Kit.  I’ve used that extensively

If you’ve dealt with other weldless kits and bulkheads you’ll know that typically a certain finesse is required when installing.  They can be a bit of a pain to to get working correctly and can require some adjustments over time to keep leaks under control.  Depending on the design “just tight enough” is really close to “too tight, your o-ring just popped out”.  True Weldless bulkheads – at least the style I have – are well thought out, well built and you can actually tighten them down.

A real issue with these and a lot of other stuff that Brew Hardware carries is availability.  They seem to struggle.  Along with that offerings can change quickly.

MoreBeer Stainless Steel Kettle Whirlpool Arm – $30.95

Stainless - Weldless Whirlpool Arm

Stainless Steel Weldless Whirlpool arm from MoreBeer.  Add to your kettle to aid in creating a whirlpool.

Product Description – Here.  Use coupon code BEERDEAL to get this discount.

More Info

from MoreBeer

Want clearer wort? Quicker chilling times? Higher hop utilization during flameout? Achieve all this and more by upgrading your system with the new Weldless Whirlpool Arm by Fermentap!
Designed to be installed underneath the handle of your kettle, this piece of equipment will allow you to achieve a perfect whirlpool in your Boil Kettle. Simply pump your wort from your ball valve, into this piece, which will jet around the inside of the kettle, forming a strong whirlpool. It will settle Trub in the center of your kettle, making it easy to pull clear wort from your ball valve. It also gives a much higher chilling efficiency when using an immersion chiller, due to the increased turbulation of wort. On top of this, the increased flow will result in higher extraction of hop oils and flavor during flameout additions!
  • Made of 100% stainless steel
  • It features a 1/2″ Full Port ball valve and a 1/2″ barb.
  • The inner barbed elbow is 3/8″.
  • Features a 1/2″ MPT outlet for hooking up your ball valve directly, along with FPT on the inside for connecting any brewing accessory you might want!

 

Weldless Stainless Steel Whirlpool Arm WL305 – $37.99 $30.95 + Free Shipping with $59 Order

Availability: This is a More Beer Deal of the Day.  Quantities are limited. Check the Deal of the Day section – Here – to see if this is still available.

The SpinCycle Whirlpool Returns from Brew Hardware!

spincycle whirlpool return

Recirculating wort back into the kettle to whirlpool the wort makes for much faster cooling and will also make a concentrated pile of trub and hop particles in the center of the kettle bottom. This whirlpool port assembly installs high up on your kettle wall above the typical wort level and then extends down before curving to the side to force the recirculated liquid towards the sidewall.

The BrewHardware purpose-built unit called the Spin Cycle starts with a weldless bulkhead design with captured O-ring and extended male threads and has the 1/2″ drop tube fully welded in. The result is a compact way to whirlpool without the need to put a ball valve on the port (the port is meant to be installed well above the max liquid level). It includes the base unit with the welded drop tube, the captured high temp silicone oring, a thin SS washer and a 1/2″ NPS locknut to hold it all together.

Camlock Cam & Groove Disconnects for Your Homebrew Setup

big_e_base_2

I’ve used ProFlow Dynamics Quick Disconnects on my kettles, mash tun, pumps and tubing for a long time.  They have worked great for me.  I put male connectors kettles, mash tuns and pumps and use female connectors for tubing.  Standardizing on this (or the opposite) means you can use tubing as jumpers and always have the availability to connect your gear.

These are made from Stainless Steel and are available in lots of configurations.  Those are classified by Type and Size.  Type may mean something in “commercial cam lock fitting circles”, but I was initially confused by this.  Types are akin to model numbers.  For example, Type A is Female NPT to Male Cam and Groove.

Since I have started using these ProFlow has added a number of new types including “Big” Variants.  Big C and Big E.  Those have much larger barbs when compared to the original C and E.

Weldless High Port Whirlpool Return for Whirlpooling with your Brewing Pump

WELDLESS HIGH PORT WHIRLPOOL RETURN

This stainless steel whirlpool return arm from Brew Hardware is designed to install high in your kettle.  When used in conjunction with your kettle ball valve and your brewing pump this makes quick work of creating a sustained whirlpool.  That whirlpool is useful for a couple of key applications…

Chilling.  Whirlpooling while using an immersion chiller makes quick work out of chilling.  It’s arguably the fastest way to get your entire batch of beer down to pitching temperature.

Clear Kettle Transfers.  Whirlpooling causes trub to settle in the middle of your kettle so you can get cleaner transfers to your fermenter.

Brew Hardware’s return arm design incorporates their True Bulkhead design.  It does not include a QD as pictured.  Choose a camlock under accessories or add on your own 1/2″ NPT fitting.

Shipping is a Flat $7.99 with a $150 order or free with a $299 order.  Check out recently featured Brew Hardware Finds.
