I bought a lab vacuum pump on ebay about two years ago, and I love the thing.
I have been using it primarily to pull my wort from the kettle through my counter flow chiller, and in to the carboy. I really love this set up because as I'm chilling the wort, I'm also aerating the wort, and when I want to swap carboys I just turn off the pump, switch them out, and restart the pump.
I've also used it to create a vacuum in my corny keg to start the transfer out of the secondary.
Just wondering if any one else has used one too.
