Brewer’s Edge Sparge Water Heater from William’s Brewing

Brewer’s Edge Sparge Water Heater. About, from William’s: “On your brew day, the last thing you want to think about is sparge water. If you want something as simple and easy to use as possible, so you can concentrate on your brewing process, the Brewer’s Edge® Sparge Water Heater is the solution. It heats up to 4 gallons of sparge water to precisely 168° F., and is a perfect companion to the Mash & Boil, Grainfather, or Robobrew.

Features a preset temperature of 168° F. which is digitally controlled to plus or minus 2°. The great thing about this is how simple it is – just fill the Sparge Water Heater with the gallons desired, plug in, and choose either 750 or 1500 watts depending on how loaded your circuit is. Then wait for the green light and you are ready to sparge! It generally takes about 45 minutes to heat 4 gallons when using 1500 watts, or 2 hours when using 750 watts (this time can be shortened considerably by filling the unit with hot water from your tap). Double wall construction means the Brewer’s Edge Sparge Water Heater holds heat better than competing units, and costs less to run as it is better insulated than a single wall heater. It will run for hours and hold your sparge water ready at precisely 168° F.’

Simplicity – No adjustments, just plug it in and wait for the green light
Quality double wall construction for more efficiency
Choose from 750 or 1500 watts depending on your circuit capacity

As of this posting, William’s Brewing has this for $158.99. Check the product page for current price and availability.

1/4” Swivel Flare Nut x 1/4” Barb Fittings – $1.89 or less

Flare Nuts w/1/4″ Barbs from AIH

About: “1/4″ Flare nut with a 1/4″ barb fitting (chrome plated)

These will fit any 1/4” flare of the soda keg disconnects as well as any of the commercial 1/4″ flare fittings. Typically used for the liquid side of a draft system. Beer line is often 3/16” and will fit this barb securely. Use a hose clamp when using this product FYI- There is no reason to use a gasket or Teflon tape on a flare fitting. If your flare is leaking, something is not working properly.”

I’m surprised when I see the general price of these. Compare – Search 1/4″ flare swivel nut on eBay. It’s not uncommon to see them sell for $4, $5 or $6 each.

As of this posting, AIH has these for $1.89. Prices drop if you purchase higher quantities. Check product page for current price and availability
