New Pump Test, and Brew Date

Ok, so the new March 809 series pump arrived to replace the busted one, and Matt and I tested it last night. It works!

It seems to pump at less pressure than I had imagined, but we’ll still need to slow it down if we use it for sparging (which we’d like to do). We have a Phil’s Sparge Arm, and this would put too much water in at too fast a rate. Anyway, the important thing is that it works just fine, and will ease a lot of our processes. Anyone with tips on setting up a March 809 series pump in a homebrewing application, send info or links – we’d love to see your setup!
In other news, we’ve settled on a brew date of June 17th for our next beer… an ESB. We still haven’t settled on a recipe yet, but that’ll probably be more or less settled on this weekend, and then written up and purchased next week.
