March Pump Uses

[BSBrewer83]

I just got a new March pump for my bday! I just ordered the equipment to start using it with my wort chiller.

My question is if anyone uses their pumps for other purposes? I have 10g igloo cooler for mash tun and a converted keg for hot liquor tank/brew kettle.

Anyone have suggestions on how else I can use this pump?

I use mine to pump water from my HLT to my MT for mashing and sparging. i drain by gravity for MT to BK.

I've been using my pump to drain my mash tun when I batch sparge. I've heard that you MIGHT cause a stuck sparge doing this, but I haven't had an issue. I just get the pump going when I'm about done with the mash and let it recirculate back into the top of the mash tun, in lieu of doing a vorflauf. Drains quicker than just letting gravity work by itself.

pump champagne up through giant glass filled with naked women

Make it even better an make it through ice sculptures with the champagne coming out their nipples.

Keeps the champagne cold and great entrainment.
