Hello,
Got a Chugger pump and Cam locks installed. Mounted the pump low on my stand, 8"-9" off the ground, base of mash tun and boil kettle are about 24" off ground. I have the IN port facing down, I have a ball valve on the OUT port facing up, that is all good. Tested and it works fine.
My question is, how do you vourlof? Also, while we are talking about mashing, I drain my tun at a fast trickle to vourlof then open the valve on the tun a bit more till the drain tube fills to take my runnings (I batch sparge). I know you can throttle down the pump but how do you really know you are pulling the right amount from the tun and not cause a stuck mash when draining?
Any tips about using a pump are appreciated.
