Hello all,
Brewed a 10gal batch of a pale today.
Most went well other than forgetting to take a gravity reading before going into fermenter. Oh well!
Anyway, lifting that much volume of liquid is starting to be a pain in the rumpus.
I think it's time to buy a chugger pump.
I just have a few questions before I jump over to Amazon....
1) my HLT, kettle, and mash tun all have 1/2" barbs on them....will the chugger pump fit that size barb?
2) does the pump basically replace the gravity fed parts? In other words, instead of me using a 3 tier setup consisting of a ladder, table, and my burner...would I be able to keep all vessels on the same level?
3) is it safe to use a pump to get the first runnings into the kettle or does the pump suck hard enough to pull the mash through? (Bad choice of words there) [emoji51]
