I've been thinking about the use of Brute trash cans for fermenting (see BYO May/June 2009) and am wondering how you'd siphon when the bottom of the fermenter is at ground level. I'd prefer to pump it and am interested in what kind of pumps people use for moving cold side wort/beer. I know there are submersible pumps, but this would seem like too big a sanitation issue what with the inside and outside of the pump being exposed. For an external pump the issue seems to be starting the siphon/priming when the pump is at ground level and has to pump up and over the rim of the fermenter. Anyway, y'all got any comments from similar setups? Sure would make my 1 bbl batches easier to deal with.
