Vorlauf pump

Oh yea for sure. I’m going to engineer an entire system, one piece at a time.

I already made an electric kettle with temp control, gonna make a controller from scratch to activate cooling pumps and vorlauf pumps… at some point I will probably even install controllable valves and do everything by push buttons/selector switches (electrical engineering degree is paying dividends!).

I just was trying to save some money up front, but no big deal. I found a chugger for around 120, I already own a few stainless steel ball valves and barbs. I need some more tubing but I won’t know how long of a piece to get until I finish building my tiered stand and pump rig. I’m going to hopefully get transparent tubing so I can tell when the vorlaufing can stop

Go to Brewhardware and get the 1/2" silicone tubing… Its like, what the rest of the tubing world is measured too… Every so often I’ll buy a 20’ chunk… Then I cut what I need to replace, have a bit left over… Seems some of the guys I hang with need some… Sneezles61
