I just scored a nice magnetic drive March pump off Ebay for $40 shipped - it's only good up to 190 degrees, so I can't pump boiling wort, but it should work great for strike and sparge water.
Now that I have the pump, I need to build a brewing sculpture. I can't decide on the configuration, though. I plan on building it out of angle iron (I have a MIG welder) and I want to put it on wheels so I can roll it around my garage.
What I can't decide on is if I want it all single tier, 2 tier, 3 tier, etc. A single tier would be nice because it wouldn't be so tall and would be more stable.
For those of you with single tier systems, how does everything flow? If I use the pump to transfer sparge water from the HLT to the MLT, how do I get the wort from the MLT to the kettle? Do I just drain it into a bucket, and then when it's full pump it up to the kettle?
So, if anyone has any suggestions, or pics of their setup, I'd like to hear from you.
