Gets the job done

Review by Bill R on 9/24/2018

Used it for the first time on Sept 22. At the 750 watt setting, it took 1 hr. 15 min to reach the sparge temperature, Did not use the 1500 watt setting since I was running a Grainfather on the same circuit. The higher setting would likely reach the 168 degree sparge temperature much sooner, but if you just get the heater started at an earlier time, it will be ready before the mash is finished and will hold the temperature and be ready for sparging--so the time to heat is not an issue.The gauge on the water level instrument could display the temperature more clearly--tiny numbers/blue paint. The water valve appears to have only one setting for dispensing the water--open/close-no in between to control the flow. Easily takes 1/2 in. diameter clamped (not tight!) hose for dispensing sparge water. Hit target gravity exactly. Gets the job done.

Seems solid

I’ve only used it twice so far. When both heating elements are on it heated up 4.5 gallons under an hour. I don’t know how accurate the gallon markings on sight glass viewer checked but they seem close. No valve issues. It seems solid and simple to operate. Recommed to any home brewer. Great addition to any elecetric brewery but seems to be equally useful for the BIAB as well.

Worked great for first outing

Recently purchased, I used the Brewers Edge Sparge Water Heater along with an electric brew system. The sparge water heater worked flawlessly, most notably heated the water to 168 degF in about 30 minutes. I was considering an”Igloo Cooler” until I found this solution, which allows you to heat the sparge water in parallel with the brew system, reducing brew session hours. Great purchase!
