Ok, I was set on building a 3 tier rig. However, now I am thinking about either a 2 tier or single tier. I would love to have one of these but the limiting factor is the pump. I can not spend $100+ on a pump that handles boiling wort. That being said, am I really going to pump boiling liquid? I use an immersion chiller, and would gravity feed to the fermenter anyways. So, I would just be pumping from the HLT to the Mash tank and from the Mash tank to the Boil Kettle. This liquid would be 180* tops. I think that there are pumps that can handle this temp way cheaper than $100 (someone please post if you know of one).
Is my thinking right? Or should I just go with the 3 tier? I was just thinking that the cost of all of the thick tubing for a 3 tier would make up for the pump.
