Hi,
At the moment i only do extract brews but i am planning to move on to all grain. i'm creating a three vessel system consisting of two full sized kegs for the hot liqour tank and the boiling pot and a 15 gallon insulated cooler for the mash tun not an easy thing to buy in ireland had to order it for the us of a of ebay

ename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=150065243717&rd=1&rd=1)
i've designed a control system for the hlt consisting of 2 commerical glasswasher heating elements 3kw each and a digial controller off a commerial oven so i'll be able to set it to boil or for sparaging temperature. i'm going to use a gas ring burner to heat the boiling tank.
The problem i have is i dont have the height in my shed to use gravity flow to feed each of the tanks so i was hoping to use a pump to send the wort from the mash tun to the boiling tank and use gravity flow for the hlt. i have a little giant air conditioning condensate pump that i was hoping to use.(http://www.lgpc.com/Product/ItemDetail.aspx?ProductID=601#) i know ill have to strip this pump to clean and sanitise it after each use but i dont want to pay over 100 euro for a magnetic pump. Do you this pump would be ok?
