What do you think of this one? I know this doesn't say that it is "Food Grade", but it does mention "Beverage Transfer", I do know that we can't believe everything we read on ebay. :unsure: I'd probably try and get a variable transformer because 17L a minute might be a little fast. There are plenty that transfer at 4L a minute which might be a better option to give me time to put the lid on the full one and purge before the next one is filled.MHB said:I don't know of an inexpensive electrically driven diaphragm pump - do you? If so I would be interested.

osprey brewday said:Cheap electrical diaphragm pump available from boat shop for potable water on a boat have used in past to push beer through a water filter just need a charged 12v battery or a big transformer u can even control flow with a variable resistor. Only used twice i found beer tastes better with a bit of haze.
I noticed the like and thought, hell we need an envy button. :beerbang:MHB said:Dusted my Flojet off today, had a troublesome AIPA that wouldn't go through a gravity filter fast enough (too many hops and a shed load of yeast), the first 10L took nearly an hour, hooked up the pump and got the next 50L through the filter in about 15 minutes, very happy - haven't used it for a while and sort of forgot how good it was.
The beer started at 1.072 and got down to 1.008 in 7 days, 6 packets of US-05 in 60L, it was really the hops that was causing trouble, 250ish grams dry hoped. Smelling and tasting pretty good.
