Braumeister Pump Issue

[proudscum]

Never had this problem.just filler up and start.No tilting.Interested to know why you would want to recirc when you have break material and hops in though as imo the intake holes in the pumps propeller are small and can clog.

I've never had this either. Some brewers use an immersion chiller and run the pump while this is happening, not something I would do.

I need to get a sturdy enough metal trolley to put it on so I can wheel it into laundry where my hose is

Keep an eye on ebay, they come up now and then.

i use this ikea job that works for me as it was sitting in the shed after kitchen up grade.

How do you like your hop rocket...I mean really do you get use from it? Is the price of whole hops worth it?

Oh and please don't post pictures wrong way up, it really pisses me. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I use a hose (yes proper water one) and as I fill it, I put the hose in the pump suction and discharge holes.

I actually stopped doing this and found it has improved with a more natural fill. Granted, I am not using a 'proper' house - just a silicone one coming from a tap.

I got one pump replaced by the Spiedel guys. That thing fires up like a boss, no matter how I fill it. Makes the 'ok' pump seem like crap. Shoulda pushed to have both replaced!

Brewed with new pump in and it didnt miss a beat. Wonder if any one would want the old pump??

I'll like to see what goes wrong with these pumps, so yes I'll like it but I'll be stripping it. Must be the fitter in me.

Is this a common problem?
If I were to drop $3500 on a fancy urn I'd expect to not have to replace faulty parts from time to time.

I think it was from models that came out last year issue between pump and computer from what I could find on web and from grain and grape
