I am about to buy a march pump model 809hs to pump my hot wort out of my morebeer kettle, through a counterflow chiller, through a venturi valve, and into my fermentor. My kettle is kind of low and this isnt a loop system so i have the following questions:
1) what is the net suction head pressure for this pump at boiling?
2) my chiller is 3/8" copper, do you think there would be a problem if i ran all 3/8" tubing upstream of the pump to the venturi valve?
3) in most march pump systems where the pump is below everything, is the beer that remains in the line after pumping just figured as a loss or does it usually siphon out?
Thanks for your help.
