Sweet! Like the way you have everything mounted so it's mobile.

The pump arrived today and I must say I really am impressed with the quality. The first pump I bought off ebay was smaller and not all that impressive. This one is definitely a better made product by far. Now I have a pump and no use for it :confused: Just need to find a housing now for...

Thanks for the answer. Plan on buying a whirlpool wand with the wort chiller so will keep this in mind.

Nice set up. Do you have any trouble with the pump priming?

The configuration of the pump would be to include quick connects on the valve and pump; male on the valve and female on the pump. Once boiling was finished, figured could turn the heat off and connect the pump to the valve with the quick connect, eliminating the danger of direct heat to the...

Good to hear it works as advertised. Did you have any trouble with air causing the pump not to pick up fluid immediately? I was thinking of putting the connectors right on the pump, so the pump could be quickly connected right out of the ball valve coming out of the brew kettle. Maybe...

Just checked the one I bought on Ebay, the seller has gone up 6$ on them since I bought mine. Glad I got it when I did.

The basket will be 6 5/8" diameter made out of 400 micron stainless steel. Here is a link to the one I'm looking at. http://www.stainlessbrewing.com/Hop-Spider-with-seam-welds_p_158.html

Hasn't been shipped out yet as far as I know. Son in Law does the extract brewing BIAB with the grains, hops, so the pump hopefully will not have any issues.

Can the specialty grains be steeped in a hop spider instead of a muslin bag when extract brewing? Seems to me one could, just want to know if anyone has done this and if it works well? Thanks, zack

Here is the one I've bought to put together a wort pump. Looks like the same pump except for the threads are not ss. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171421348963?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Everything else looks to be the same on specs.

Another question for those using the mini pumps, do you have yours connected onto the valve, or have a hose running from the valve to the pump. Seems as though it would pump more if connected close to the valve/source, but then would have to have longer wires from the pump to swithch. z

Just noticed it is out of stock :(

Seems like a much better pump than I bought, wish I'd been patient before jumping on the one I found. I like the threads on this unit to. How long have you been using it?
