good video man, just got my chugger pump and bought a new 16 gallon SS brewpot/mashtun....

The pumps are rated for boiling water/wort. Plus there is a lot of resistance at the chiller, so it wouldn't really work to have the pump post chiller. You want the least amount of resistance before the pump to avoid cavitation.

(most) chillers require, or request your pump be ahead of it. pulling through a chiller will stress the chiller and it will take FOREVER if it doesn't cavitate... know from experience.

new to brewing so I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question....wouldn't it be better on your pump to have the chiller before your pump? Or is it ok to run boiling hot water through the pump then to the chiller?

What hemostat clamp do you use?

[@tribum]

Very cool. What are the quick disconnect fittings with the rings called? I'm thinking of getting those type or possibly going with tri-clover clamps...$$$ on those though!

[@jmu2003kjm]

These are cam lock quick disconnects. A little pricey but worth the money. Easy to move one connection to another if you have a more complex setup.

[@jmu2003kjm]

Not as expensive as the tri clover clamps though

[@tribum]

kevin m Thank you.

[@Xjames14X]

go to bargainfittings.com i just ordered some camlock quick disconnects for my new pump...

[@tribum]

Thanks bro!

What was the purpose of clamping the hose at 0:50? Just to keep water from potentially flowing out? Or is there something I'm not getting?

[@jmu2003kjm]

Yeah completely unnecessary. This is an old video there's a lot in there that I would do differently now so do you research!

[@stevenshankar8365]

Ok cool. Informative video though. Thanks!

Some surgeon somewhere is yelling for his Kocher, or whatever that was.
