I am building a wooden, gravity-based, 2-tier system to mash and sparge to my boil kettle, which will sit on the ground on its Bayou Classic metal stand. The tops of the mash tun and hot water tun will be, respectively, approximately 4 feet and 6 feet from the ground.
While putting 2-3 gallons of hot water into the mash tun and stirring mash from a step stool should not be a problem, I am a little leery of climbing even a few short steps further to put hot water into my hot water container for the sparge.
Is there a bare-bones system available to pump hot water from the boil kettle to the hot water container? I am envisioning an electric pump and about 6-8 feet of silicon tubing running from the boil kettle spout to the pump, and then up to the top of the hot water container.
Am I on track here?
Best,
Steve
