I just have to post this on here. If you are using pumps on a brew stand buy the quick disconnects the first time. I recently built a Brutus clone and thought I would save $100-$200 by using garden hose fittings. After my fifth brew on the stand, and multiple sets of busted knuckles and cuts to the palms, I realized that instead of saving money I now have 100 worth of extra garden hose fittings. Thankfully my brother (who helped build the stand) offset most of the quick disconnect costs as a Christmas present. So for anyone out there building a Brutus or whatever, get the quick disconnects the first time.
