Clamp for Sparging and Lautering
Instead of using a metal hose clamp, I opted for a 3D-printed solution found online.
Model
Printing and Material
- Material: PETG or ASA – suitable for food contact and resistant to higher temperatures
- Printed without major issues
Modifications
Instead of the original metal pins, I used plastic clips:
- Eliminates the risk of corrosion
- Simplifies assembly
- Reduces cost
Usage
The clamp regulates hose flow from full flow down to complete shutoff. Ideal for:
- Lautering the mash
- Sparging (rinsing water)
- General hose switching in the brewhouse
