Not the hose is I think it's just the pump.
It's just a utility pump that I had kicking around, cheap made

It has a 1 1/2" outlet reduced to 3/4" with a threaded adapter that goes into a copper pipe with one of those spinny ball things on the top to spray. I'll take a picture when i go outside in a bit.
I scored a ridiculously oversized sump pump for $30 so it's hard to say no.

Manifold complete! Took quite a few hours to get it all together but finally got it done. Did a mini Mach brew day while cleaning and seems to all work. Few adjustments left but no rush. Shouldn't have to touch a hose or a cam lock from filling HLT to cleaning Brew kettle.
A work of art Snook once again you've raised the bar mate! Is that one pump pushing your wort around there? I'm imagining driving that thing pissed would have it chalanges lol
.
I've go one valve in my all in one brew rig and 2 brews back my poor pump copped it for about 20-30 minutes with recirculation valve turned off (I turn it off to take pre boil gravity reading out the return hose but didn't turn the valve back on). Them march pumps are built strong.

All I can say is you've still got more brain cells then me mate! Would of took some thinking to work that out.

Thanks, just takes a lot of patience !
I see you took the shoulder off there Valka. Here in Aus the "Big W" $20 pot glass lid fits the keg lid cut out perfectly.
Ok awesome. How do you chill? Will need cut out for Imersion coil pipes if so?
I use alfoil when chilling to cover kettle but would love a better more solid lid design you've inspired me. The glass lid I mentioned is good for when mashing but them inlet and outlet pipes just get in the road when chilling.
I like to keep wort covered when it's cool as much as possible don't want no dog hairs floating in

Wasn't sure if this should have gone here or under what I did in home brewing today....Here is my PVC fly sparge arm....Highly scientific testing finds I'm getting about a gallon every 1 minute and 45 seconds under a simple gravity feed. I'll see how this works some time this weekend.

cheap hop back made from mostly spare parts to sit just before entering the fermentation vessel, whole hops only so far. I've designed this to enter from the bottom and because of that it will never over flow
going to try this with pellet hops, pretty course screen

Cool like a coffee plunger type thing where the goods are hops. Will have to let us know how much more hop flavour aromas you get into your beer this way Oz?
