Finally broke down and bought the pump. As soon as I get the new kettle, 10 gallon batches here I come. In the meantime, I can brew my 5 gallon batches at a reasonably safe height
 
I've been having pump envoy for a while. I want to try the no-sparge brewing but still haven't got a pump yet.
 
I got my pump as I started to plan out my HERMS system, but WAY before I had the actual HERMS parts I was using the pump in my brewing. I dropped down to a single tier and stopped lifting heavy buckets.

AWESOME.
 
I've had a pump almost a year year now (March 809) that I've yet to use. Need to break down and buy the valves and QD fittings to make my transfer hoses so I can start using it.
 
Got my pump last week from Austin Homebrew. Haven't used it yet. I now have everything to build my "Brew cart" except my fittings from pro flow dynamics...
Can't wait to get everything in order!!
 
Why do you need a pump for 10 gallon batches? I do mostly 10 gallon batches, but don't have a pump.

:confused:

That being said, a pump is on my list. Along with a plate chiller and a lot of other stuff.

The biggest benefit I got from the pump was single tier brewing. No more lifting hot water or trying to climb up to dump sparge water into my MLT.

Same here. I am all set, just waiting for the back-ordered male couplings. I understand that they should have stock and ship next week.

I only need the pump for ten gallon batches because I built a CFC last year and I need to get my kettle way up high to get into fermenter via CFC.

Lifting a keggle with 11 gallons of cooled wort onto a table to siphon it does blow, I will admit.

I am shooting for a "1.5 Tier", with the HLT elevated.
