I am thinking of buying a March Pump. Firstly, it would mean not having to lift coolers and kettles of hot liquid while brewing.
But I am also wondering about moving the hot wort into the fermenter via a plate chiller.
I brew in my garage, but ferment in my basement. I normally carry my fermenter down into the basement.
Anyway, it's about 30ft horizontal from my kettle to basement stairs then about 30 ft that goes down the basement stairs and into my fermenter.
Obviously gravity will help, but wonder if the March pump would be damaged by such a long tubing, especially if run through a plate chiller.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Charlie
