Hi Guys,
Looking for some help with acquiring a pump for my brew rig. I've got two 50L kegs with the tops cut off and some half inch taps welded in. Ones the mash tun and the other is the kettle.
After visiting a micro brewery I realised the awesomeness of pumps, so I want to do that rather than a gravity feed. So many benefits.
I tried my local home brew shop and he ordered in a pump for me which was a cheap knock off of a March pump. Pretty much the same as this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/809-FOOD-GRADE-MAGNETIC-Drive-Polysulfone-PUMP-Beer-Brewing-Mashing-Wort-March-/300954887225?pt=AU_Pumps&hash=item46124f2439&_uhb=1
He also got me some half inch bsp screw on disconnects and some silicone hose to make up my hoses. However, the thread on the pump shat itself when I screwed on the disconnects, so I'm going to return that to him. I had a lead from the brewery about a spare American march pump but that has failed.
I've also seen on here to a Herm pump with Gryphon? http://gryphonbrewing.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=77&products_id=597&osCsid=bb57r44mt2u3l26ntumh4anc40
So can anyone offer some advice on where to get a pump? Ideally I would like to use some disconnects that I can get from my home brew guy (like an air system style) for now. Ultimately I would like to plumb it properly but it is a slow build in progress.
Would love some guidance and advise. I'm potentially looking at the tesco site in the US too but it seems expensive and a long way to get a pump. I'm after 240v and the ability to throttle it by partially opening one of the taps...
