    Great. Thanks for that David! We will embed this into our website. We were going to cover a video on this ourselves but you have done such a great job we will not bother. Cheers!

    Sorry if this was covered, but could you just stick the feeding end into fermenter and have the pump suck through the line without siphoning through first? Or does it not produce suction on the air alone?

    I have one of these. It's a great addition to your brewery. I will warn that mine has a tendency to vibrate off of surfaces. I HIGHLY suggest screwing it down to a flat solid base. My heart sank when I turned my back for on moment and it fell on to my garage floor. Thank goodness it is very robust and only cracked some of the plastic. I am still surprised at how far it can actually lift liquid. Great little transfer pump.

    I've been doing a modified version of this for a while. Spurred on by the question of how I could use a Blichmann QuickCarb for more than just quick carbing, I realized it could be used to transfer from fermenter to serving keg. In my case, it's an oxygen free transfer, or very minimal.
    I'm fermenting in a Kegland All Rounder which is fitted with the Kegland PCO-1881 carb caps and a floating dip tube. The same thing will work for a Corny keg.
    All Rounder > Beer out post > liquid in on the pump > output of pump > beer/liquid post on serving keg.
    All Rounder > gas post > ball lock > tubing > ball lock > gas post of serving keg.
    Of course, purge the serving keg beforehand. Once you start the transfer, there's no worry about the serving keg being overfilled because the liquid has a way to travel back into the fermenter by way of the jumper on the gas posts. No mess. No oxygen. Fast. Easy. No gravity needed. No extra CO2 needed besides the serving keg purge.
    Bonus is, with the right fittings, this pump makes cleaning taps and lines on your kegerator super fast.

      have you tried tasting the beer after once through the quickcarb? I was wondering if it is fizzy enough to serve directly

    • @BuckRogers2491
      @BuckRogers2491 2 роки тому +1

      @@indiekiduk If the beer has no prior carb, it can take up to an hour before it has enough to not be flat. I wouldn't consider the QuickCarb method a replacement for a good ole set it, for example, 12 psi and come back days later. It is good for getting into your brew quickly.

      Great, thanks Clint. Good information :)

    Hi David, any reason you couldn't run this in series with an inline filter and force the beer through it?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому +1

      Hi, Not that I am aware of. Its certainly got power to it.

    • @jb3741
      @jb3741 2 роки тому +1

      Thanks, this may actually make a filter worth buying for me now...

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому

      Filters are a whole other topic 🍻

  • @gabrielcolin7984
    @gabrielcolin7984 2 роки тому +1

    This is the same tipe of pump that quickcarbs uses, so if you use all the fittings and oxygen stone, you can recirculate with co2 in a keg and carb your beer, great pump btw :)

  • @danielwylie8693

    If I was transferring from fermenter to keg. Would you recommend having for filter on before the pump or after?

  • @cliffo76
    @cliffo76 Рік тому +1

    Would there be any issues using this to transfer carbonated beer from a kegmenter to the serving keg in a closed loop system?

  • @knacrr
    @knacrr 2 роки тому +2

    But how is the cleaning? I think it can't be disassembled for cleaning, so aren't there risks for contamination?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому +2

      Just recirculate cleaner,water then sanitiser, like you would with a brewing system clean. You do not need to open these pumps at all.

  • @cphillips5428
    @cphillips5428 2 роки тому +2

    How easy is the pump to clean and sanitize?

  • @hoff-zilla
    @hoff-zilla 2 роки тому +1

    Would this pump turn on/off if you used it with a bottle filler?
    I'm thinking sort of how a water pump for your house works, open the tap and the pump turns on?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому +1

      Thats not something that ive tested so hard to comment with any authority . I suspect so though.

  • @OneTrilogy
    @OneTrilogy Рік тому +1

    Can this push through the 10" filtering system?

  • @stefansoder8287
    @stefansoder8287 2 роки тому +1

    David, another question. Do you know if the pump can be used to transfer cold glycol through a heat exchanger? Can it deal with minus 8 degrees celsius temperature? I imagine using it in that way when cooling during transfer hot wort to the fermenter.

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому

      I am aware of a maximum temperature spec of 140F but not a minimum. These are sold as transfer pumps though, so -8C is not really covered.

  • @kakebake

    Hi, nice, any eu stores which have this? quick search and couldn't find one. Also would a magnetic pump filled with sanitized solution and purged with co2 still be risky for oxidation?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому

      This is just around the corner for Europe.
      As long as your transfer method is not adding in excessive oxygen then its fine. A pump that splashes or splutters is not an option.

  • @Duo_Seraphim
    @Duo_Seraphim 2 роки тому +1

    Wonderful review! Where can I get one in the EU? I can only find American or Australian sellers and shipping costs more than the product.

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому

      These are going to be popping up over Europe from 2 weeks ago and beyond. Its just a case of stores ordering them from their suppliers.

  • @stefansoder8287
    @stefansoder8287 2 роки тому +1

    Yet another great video David, thanks. If I order from US, can it be connected to a 220 V outlet directly (with the right cord) ?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому

      You will be able to get one locally soon. Probably early December. Importing would mean buying a kettle lead, so easy enough.

    • @stefansoder8287
      @stefansoder8287 2 роки тому

      I am in US now so I can easily get it here if the transformer can take 220v

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому

      I believe so but best to check directly in this case. I pretty sure all ate the same, its just the plugs that are different. I am running at 230v

  • @jeremyjenkins3862
    @jeremyjenkins3862 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks for this, looks great. Is it currently available from a UK supplier, or only on import from the US?

  • @indiekiduk
    @indiekiduk 2 роки тому +1

    That looks like the same pump in the Blichmann QuickCarb for inline carbonation via a stone

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому +1

      Could be, I dont have one to check with sadly.

    • @BuckRogers2491
      @BuckRogers2491 2 роки тому +1

      It's just a diaphragm pump, though not exactly like the QuickCarb one. Functionally, it'll be the same.

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому +1

      Yes.

  • @A2an
    @A2an 2 роки тому +1

    Maybe it works from GF Conical fermenter to a keg with counter pressure😊
    Always Grate information on you channel David 👍

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому

      Sure, its fine under pressure to its rating, which is generous. Thanks Allan 🍻🍻🍻

  • @paxzpaaxz

    Is this reverse osmosis water systems pump ?

  • @BitterRealityBrewing
    @BitterRealityBrewing 2 роки тому +1

    Be careful when opening it to clean it, as some of the parts are very small but still easy to clean.

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому

      Yes, good point but really you do not need to open it. Just run a cleaning cycle with modern pumps.

  • @dimash244
    @dimash244 2 роки тому +1

    Looks like pump for reverse osmosis systems, booster pump
