I'm looking to outfit my already functional "mini-brewery" with a small 12VDC pump so I can incorporate a CFC.
I use my 2 gal Coleman "stacker" cooler as a mash-tun and am planning to make my 3 gal BK into an electric.
My question is this: What should the temperature rating be on the pump I use to maintain adequate margin for the pump? Many of the cheaper 12VDC pumps I am looking at are rated for 212F and I expect that boiling wort will be pushing the limits.
