how do you sparge with this

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my son who does home brew. I have no idea how to use it.

I don't use this kettle as a mashing kettle, but if you are, and if you only have one of these kettles and no way to get a consistent flow of hot water from another vessel, your best course of action is batch sparging. I have used batch sparging since I've started doing all-grain. If you purchase two of these, however, you can heat your sparge water in one of them, at a higher elevation, and fly sparge one into the other (your mash tun) by using high-temperature tubing (available at your LHBS [local Homebrew shop]). Open the sparge kettle's ball valve and the mash tun ball valve so they are flowing at the same (slow) rate, with the mash tun tube going to another vessel that you will boil in.

You can simply catch the wort in a plastic or glass pitcher and spreading the sparge over the gains.

Just take stick and dip. Use a cup (Dixie or small solo)-I always wait until I get result before I dump it out. Make sure your don't dip past the max line. If you get the whole stick wet, it won't work at all.

Take it outside and blow it out with some compressed air. You can use glass cleaner for the base if it tickles your fancy.

use something and poke it it will bounce right out :)or just use your finger nail to push it down

A bit late with my response, but just saw this question....went to spam for some reason......I didn't think it was that hard....just make sure to have the cap on, don't overfill and use a spoon to scoop it in.

I second "rocketfuel's" answer below. I takes just a little practice but within a minute or two you should have it down,practice on a bag or two first a couple of times.

Directions are on the container, I think you mix 2 parts water to 1 concentrate. I use distilled water.

You need to pump. There is a lever on the side that you push up and down as you spray. You basically build up pressure in the tank and you pump to maintain that pressure.

To prime it, put a finger over the opening. Then, push the button repeatedly. By trapping the air from coming out, it will get the liquids to start flowing. Good luck!

Grinds it dry in a KRUPS GX4100 Electric Spice Herbs Grinder. Mix water and dry and now powder alpiste in pitcher. Soak for a while. Then strain liquid very fine and well. Careful it might make you frisky. ;)

First, only fill half way so there is enough air space in the container to hold some air pressure. Pump a few times until the pressure on pump is firm but not tight. Second, hold closer to pan.

What I do is fill the entire canister with water from my tank. Then I prime a couple of times. Then I wait for the suction to build up in the canister ( about 2 mins.) when I see the water trying to move in the tubing I start priming. It will take about 10-15 pushes on the prime button before it starts working on its own. Also make sure the lever between the two inlets is in the right position.

You squeeze it. In my opinion, it doesn't work. I returned mine to the store.

I used compressed air, works great! Canned air works well, but if you have access to an air compressor--it's way more effective.

You can put it on with a brush or a puff. The way to keep from getting too much on the brush is to tap it off, back into the container, before applying. You can better judge how much you need from that.

I use a blow-off tube - 1/2" Tygon tubing venting into a plastic gallon milk jug full of water - to start. Then switch to one of these after things calm down a bit.

Shake it well before use and it should come out like a bunch of oily bubbles, more or less. usually sink while dispersing. Make sure there is good oxygen flow. Hope this answer helps.
