Hey all,
After a recent setback on getting a pump for my Ebiab setup, I'm starting to wonder if I really even need a pump. I'm trying to take the K.I.S.S. approach with this build, and am questioning if having a pump is a necessity. I understand recirculating the mash to keep temps even, but I'm wondering if I can't just pour some liquid out of the valve into a pitcher and pour it back into the kettle a couple times during the mash? Is this faulty logic or can I avoid an extra expense/item to clean by taking the pump-less route? Any thoughts or input welcome.
