Hey everyone,
We are looking to purchase our portable pump to use as our workhorse until we can afford to make some upgrades. The pump will initially be used for hot wort transfer, keg cleaning, and fermenter cleaning. We are looking at a Top-Flo C114MD 2hp because the price point is only a couple hundred more than the 1hp model. Our logic behind this is that this larger pump will be able to be used for years as we grow and move to a larger system.
Until then we figured that we could just add a valve and adjust the VFD to reach the desired flow rate for our 3BBL system. I was hoping for some feed back about this and any recommendations on if we would be better off just getting the smaller model for now and just buying more pumps as we grow. I know that bigger isn't always better and was worried that this would be one of those cases!
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
