March Pump Group Buy

[Munsoned]

....and, I missed it. Crap.

 

[BreWirfel]

now that we all have march pumps, how about a group buy on counterflow chillers??

 

[illin8]

Forrest, I just sent you a PM. I just got home from work and couldn't log on today to order. Can you put me on the backorder list please? Can I still get the group buy price?

I can't believe they sold out...man.

How long before you have them in stock again?

I can't beleive I missed it either! I thought it would be all day...when can we do it again? I need a pump amigo and would totally be down if you did this again. How bout tomorrow?

 

[humann_brewing]

I am shopping right now.

Just let Forest know you want to be on the backorder list and he should get it to you on the next shipment. He said that a few pages back. Better hurry though, 78 minutes till midnight in Texas.

Wow.. shoulda checked my email before I replied again. I got a tracking number?!

Thanks again, Forrest!

 

[mmb]

Not only do I have a tracking number, there is actual tracking results from said number...

A pump and 5lb bag of rice hulls left MESQUITE, TX this morning at 3 am....

That's quick, Forrest!

Get ready for the onslaught of "how does this pump work" threads starting next week...

I bought two 6' x 3/8" ID silicone tubing when I picked up the pump at Austin Homebrew yesterday, theirs is relatively cheap and it works great.

Just ordered the fittings from McMaster-Carr including quick disconnects to hook it all up.

Will post in the Equipment forum with pics when I get it all assembled. I plan to mount the pump in a cheap toolbox (a cool trick I have seen on here before).

 

[chumprock]

My purchase is intended for my evolution into building a basement brewery, my next purchase will probably be a counterflow chiller, so I would have interest in a group buy if one should happen to come up...

 

[GearBeer]

Thanks for giving us this opportunity, Forrest!

I'll finally be able to stop guessing what my CO2 tank and regulator pressures are, too!

Forrest

cheap LOL. just the basic copper-in hose chiller. the one on your site seems to be a good price, however cheaper is always better

 

[eeebigeee]

I received my two pumps yesterday. Thanks again AHS for working with this group.

[mac1jw]

PM eeebigeee for instructions and a commitment to buy. You won't get the group buy price if you just order one.

Forrest

When will there be a Washington State sale?

The one day group buy is officially over.

Thanks Forest!

Unless you are going to put it on a brewstand right away, you could find other ways to use it for pleasure.

Bought a B&D toolbox from Wally World for $10. It's approx 19x10x10 which holds the pump perfectly.

Front (pump inlet QD) / inside, 1 1/8" hole:


Back (pump outlet QD) / outside, 1" hole:


Silicon hoses attached with barb fittings to the female QDs:


Fit is so good, I didn't bother mounting the pump to the box though I could... mainly I wanted easy storage with protection against dropping the pump and cracking the head. I have some double sided tape I'll probably throw in there after I get a chance to do a longer test run.

I don't have any spigots on my pots yet so for now I will prime using an autosiphon connected to the pump outlet.

 

[stevea1210]

looking good sacc. How is piming going wit it mounted horizontally like that? I have mine mounted vertically, and have learned how to prime pretty easily now.

 

[eschatz]

I'm in for 1. PM me when you're ready.

Please put a list up in the OP of definites.

FYI this month's BYO magazine has a great writeup on a tool box pump setup written by a fellow HBT member. Great article Ryan
