Hi guys, I'm currently looking for a pump such as the Chugger or March pump if anyone's looking to offload. TIA.

Got it! My son was in New York and took the bus to New Jersey and bought me a 230v Inline Chugger for just $149 or €136 in EU funny money, and Customs never batted an eyelid ;D

More expensive that our first GB but good value never the less
I'm not sure thats a good title for a thread :P

I hate the exchange rate these days. US stuff just doesn't have the same value.

Hi, brewuk.co.uk might be worth a visit. They have a small 12volt pump at around £45 which might suit. It pumps up to 130°c and 3 metre head. I've just bought a 3 x bottle filler from them. Spoke on the phone to them, very helpful and good postage rate. Best regards, Paul.

@Parrot, I thought you cleared out your kit.
What setup have you now?

Parrot

I did because I working abroad on a contract that took me away for unpredictable periods and my kit was waayyy too complicated, convoluted, confused, too many gimmicks and toys.

So I sold it all (well most of it) to clear the decks and started again when I got back a few months ago. I built a new HLT, my own version of a Braumeister type machine (both from 50Lt SS Kegs with pumps, elements and other bits & bobs to make it all work) 2X60Lt fermenters, 4XCornie Kegs and 2X60Lt Grain storage barrels.

I'm just working on making uncomplicated AG beers, by the simplest means, for myself and the family. I won't be entering any competitions just yet but who knows what the future holds.

I'd be very surprised is somebody sold you a chugger as once you have one they are amazing bits of kit and not something you are likely to part with. I did sell one, only because I had 3 and was factoring in failure, over 30 herms and whirlpool brews in and no 1 is still going strong.
If you really need a "good pump" for sub 100e budget have a look at those from Angel brew or homebrewbuilder in the uk

Parrot

Thanks for that CH but as I posted at the top of the page I got my son to pick up a Chugger for me when he was in NYC in October.
