nicole gave me a pump for my bday, ever since i had been looking at the best way to mount it. putting it on a brew stand would be ideal but with brewing in the garage and storing in the basement we needed something portable, that is were the pump tool box comes in. i surfed the homebrew forums and found tons of different designs but ultimately one stood out more than the others, i liked the quality look and pump arrangement. from the info i've gathered, having a pump setup to flow water through in a vertical (bottom in, top out) position and installing a purge valve on the out is preferred. i ordered a couple disconnects from mcmaster carr #6739k59 and #6739K68, and the rest of the parts from bargain fittings. only took a couple hours to get everything drilled, mounted, and wired (thanks again for you help with the wiring steve!). still need to cut a hole for the extension cable to come out the top but other than that i think we are ready for brewing.
