Sparge pipe is a term commonly used in brewing and refers to the device that distributes hot water evenly over the grains during the sparging process. However, there are several synonyms for this term such as sprinkler, spray bar, shower head, or wort distributor. Some brewers even use a custom-made manifold to distribute the hot water effectively. These terms may differ based on the design, shape, and material used, but all serve the same purpose, which is to ensure that the sparging process is efficient and effective. Brewers typically choose their preferred sparge pipe based on their brewing style and equipment, but regardless of the term used, all sparging devices should achieve the same purpose for successful brewing.
