@bvn:
That's exactly what I did! I had the drill; the paint stirrer was a couple of bucks, and works a treat!! I still need higher attenuation, so a stir-plate next!
Great idea, I use a strainer and have not had a problem, but the closer to perfect we can be the better the beer.I will try this method in the future , thanks for the article.
This is awesome! Mine didn't work at first, but then I just tightened the clamps down and bingo! I just tested it out with water today, but I'm psyched to use it on my next beer.
FYI - for those that are having trouble getting this to suck air in...the venturi needs to be below and downstream of the highest point in the hose(especially if you are pumping) otherwise it will be at a higher pressure than the atmosphere and will leak rather than suck.
