thinking about building a quickcarb rig ala the blichmann version. Main question is which pump to use.
.
diaphragm types is what blichmann uses but I wonder about o2 pickup as they don’t specify the material, a lot of them use silicone. No bueno. A few that do specify (santoprene) are friggin expensive. More than just buying the blichmann.
also looking at topsflo (wort hog) pump, which is fully sealed so no o2 pickup worry I think. But not self priming so more setup involved, and not totally sure it’ll work since it doesn’t self prime.
anybody else have some experience on a carb rig?
