When it comes to the art of wine and beer making, there's a lot more to it than meets the eye. It's not just about the right ingredients or the perfect recipe. It's also about the tools you use, and how they can improve your process. What if you no longer had to move full carboys, position them on tables for gravity siphoning or lift them off the floor when they are full? Better yet, what if you could do this without the need for an extra pair of hands? Let’s talk about what The Super Transfer Pump can do for you.

This self-priming pump is a game-changer in the world of home brewing. It's like having your own personal assistant, ready to make your brewing process smoother and more efficient. With a maximum flow rate of 3.0 GPM and a minimum of 0.8 GPM, this pump is designed to handle all your transfer needs with ease. With the mad flow rate, you can empty a 6-gallon carboy in two minutes!

One of the biggest challenges in brewing is moving around full carboys. It's not just physically demanding, but there's also the risk of shattering, which can lead to a heartbreaking loss of your precious brew and be a major safety hazard. If a 6-gallon carboy shatters in your hands and you are not wearing gloves, it will mean a likely trip to the ER. With the Super Transfer Pump, you can say goodbye to these problem and dangers.

But that's not all. This pump is also designed to limit frothing, which can be especially problematic when transferring beer. With its adjustable flow rate, you can control the flow to get it as slow as a trickle when topping off a vessel. It's like having a magic wand that gives you complete control over your transfer process. Best practice is to the keep the output hose below the fluid level to avoid splashing. This will help limit foaming and frothing.

The Super Transfer Pump also comes with an automatic shut-off switch at 45 psi and a thermally protected motor. This means it can handle a maximum liquid temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Centigrade), making it suitable for a wide range of brewing needs. And the best part? It can run dry for short periods of time and can run without interruption for over 90 minutes.

Using this pump is very easy and straight forward. Just attach the intake hose to a ½ inch racking cane and place it inside the carboy you are transferring from. The intake hose appears larger but both hoses have the same internal diameter. The intake hose is just thicker so it does not collapse from the pressure of the pump drawing in liquid. Once it is attached, place your output hose in your empty carboy and turn on the pump. The power knob is also your speed dial.

Cleaning and sanitizing your pump is just as easy. Prepare about two gallons of water with no-rinse cleaner and sanitizer that does not foam. It is recommended to use sulfites. You cannot use StarSan. Place the input and output hoses in the solution and turn on your pump. This will cycle the solution through the pump and hoses to ensure a clean and safe transfer of your wine or beer. Do this before and after every use.

This pump is not just a tool, it's your partner in crime in the transfer process. It's there to make your life easier, to make your brewing process smoother, and to ensure that you get the best out of your brew. So, the next time you're brewing, remember - you're not alone. You've got the Super Transfer Pump by your side.

So, let's raise a glass to the Super Transfer Pump - the tool that's going to take heavy carboys off your hands and bring your brewing experience to the next level. Cheers!
