So I have been having issues with my mash... have inquired, and have done some testing myself. So to help my mash out I am thinking recirculating ( I am a EBIABer). piecing everything together I'm looking at about $230.00. or a tad bit more..... any way. I was talking to the wife, and say how I may have to work some OT to cover the cost.... after discussing our finances, she looks at me and ask why i will need to work OT.. So tomorrow I will be ordering what i need, Most of witch will be coming from BrewHardware - minus the pump (mack2)since the have 0 in stock, what a bummer.. anyway as the question how much waste should i expect 10' feet of hose and pump. Honestly I am thinking not enough to consider. since I'm sure I will be actually gain more from whirl pooling.(after I drain my kettle as it is set up right now, I still see some useable wort that could go into the fermenter).
I have thought about getting a cheap pump, but have decided to go with the mach2 pump, feeling that it should handle some of the degree from brewing. I put my hops in a bag, son don't have hop degree to deal with when draining to my fermenter ( right now favorite is a for monster, versus buckets) .
I truly didn't want more equipment, but feel that it is necessary because of what i am running into. so I am setting up to recirculate as well as whirl pooling.
