WTB - Self priming food grade pump

DlALTONE · Oct 17, 2011

Hello,
I need a pump to transfer from the fermenter to the serving kegs. Must be food grade and willing to ship to FL. THanks

Check out chugger pumps on Ebay. Their fairly cheap for being stainless, and they're great pumps.

But they're not self priming...

What some people do is use a bung or carboy cap with an inlet as well as a racking cane. Apply ~.5 psi co2 and you have a very cheap "self priming" pump. Might not work for your application but I thought I'd throw that out there.

Not crazy cheap but MoreBeer sells THIS. And you can always check ebay for Peristaltic Pumps.

PM sent - I have a Super Transfer Pump that is food-grade & self-priming

The morebeer pump will not work if you want to use it for anything over 125F.

OP said he is looking to pump from fermentor to kegs... if over 125f, he should have other concerns :mug:

Yup, exactly! I dunno if your beer is over 125F when you transfer it from the fermenter but mine is usually around 40F. :drunk:
