I have been reading about the wort wizard and the diy one. creating vacuum in a sealed system in the carboy to transfer from the Bk through the cfc and then into the carboy, well I have been thinking why bother with some water actuated venturi and not with a regular vacuum. I also seen a few posts with a medical pump and those seem to be a bit more expensive, the last few weeks I have been making upgrades and I am about broke. first I was thinking that it could be a hazard in a glass carboy if too much negative pressure was created. causing the glass to break and then I have been pondering a few other vacuum's. My best ideas are using a shark wich is a hand held vacuum and then I thought about a air mattress pump that my mom has for camping. like this. http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_...003a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=089W465415110001P
I know that it can both suck and blow, with not a lot of pressure in either direction/ I am going to try the shark tomorrow with a better bottle just to see if it makes it cave in. if it does not I would think it is ok for use with glass. I am also going to find a kmart that has one of these and if it does not work atleast I have 30 days to get my money back..
also for you medical pump users what psi/hg do you run at?
i would love to have feedback on this!
