I'm looking for a pump for my home brewing setup. Would there be any food safety concerns or operating concerns at 212*f?

I don't know if the unit is rated for that high a temp. The most it would normally handle is about 140 degrees.

Been a while, since I visited the company website--suggest you do that, too!--but I know it was good for any brewing liquid in a glass container that needed no more than 78-80 degree F temps. I prefer 80 exactly for kombucha, so have had to rely on this ONLY during the winter, when ambient temps are far below 80 and when I use a seed mat to boost brewing temps up to 70-80 (or I'd never get kombucha in a week or two . . would take FOREVER). Just know the strip tops out at 78-80, so if your brew needs more than that, look elsewhere for a monitoring product. Good luck.

78 degrees is the coldest, I bought to small of a chiller for a 250 gal system. there is some noise to the chiller. Bigger is better I'm going to have to buy a larger one for summer ,look up Teco brand quiet and much nicer and cooling is better.

Water is still liquid at 35, so it will work just fine. My pump has not been out in freezing temps so far this year, but the literature says it has a thermal protection device to protect it. I will have to wait and see, but so far it works great.

I have had my CM-688 for about two years. When new, the temperature in the brew basket was about 195*F. I find that a thick cold mug will cool the coffee too much for my taste so I prewarm the mug. I also use room temperature water since water from the faucet in winter seems to affect the brew. Water from the faucet in summer is fine. I checked the temperature in the brew basket this morning and it was about 204*F. By the time a 10oz brew had finished, the temp in the mug was 170*F.

Should be fine, we run it for half hour straight without any issue. Pressure just like home. Works great!

Any household pump would be rated for chlorinated water in concentrations safe for human contact. If you are using it in a heating system, I would be more concerned about how hot your water will be and if the pump is rated for that temperature.

208, 194, and 158 degrees. What I love about this machine? Instant hot cocoa, hot apple cider, tea, or soup. If cooking on the stove top you don't have to wait around for water to come from room temperature to boil. If water is set at 208 all hot water needs is a few minutes to come to a roiling boil for pasta, veggies or potatoes. I purchased my first hot water pot at Camp Casey, Korea in '97. It had the push button pump that dispensed the water. The pump stopped working after two years. I upgraded to the new push button dispenser. It still works excellent. My Mother still uses it for coffee, and hot chocolate. I purchased another one for myself. I gave one to my sister and my older brother. And now my younger brother has his eyes on mine. I stayed in San Francisco with a friend for awhile and set up my hot water pot in his kitchen. When I left he fought to high heaven wanting to keep my hot water pot. So I let him have it. It's a great gift for college students who might want hot water for cooking. Actually I learned about the pot visiting my younger brother who was a Marine stationed on Okinawa. He had one in his room and used it for hot instant soup. I have my eyes on a newer pot now. The absolute best deals I have found would be on a military base exchange, PX or China town in San Francisco. It just seems that my kitchen is missing an important tool without it. If you do decide to purchase make sure you purchase citric acid cleaner for water boilers. I purchased the brand name Zojirushi. I used the cleaner for the first time two months ago with great results. Depending on the water type used a scale can build up. This powder removes scale build up. Non toxic. Extends life and performance of boiler. Cleaner water boiler=proper water temperature=better tasting water. I also have a Zojirushi rice maker that makes top notch rice. The Zojirushi brand in my opinion has excellent products also. But I've always stuck with my Tiger Hot Water Pot.

I don't think you would have any problems at all with this. I would not hesitate to make the brew.Bill

I don't see why water temp of 105 degrees would be any problem. The housing material appears to be capable to handle that water temp just fine. The pump works fine and is self priming. Very compact compared to others. Has very good pressure. Good price for a good pump.

I believe this is ok for such gauges. I am using another model but for co2 injection in aquariums and I get max 60 psi. But I am sure you don't need such pressure if you use it for beer only. Thus I believe your gauge is ok

How would consumers know the answer unless they got their hands on a press release from Nespresso. Anyone think of asking them? I find if I use a hot cup then I don't have a problem with the temperature of the brew.

my pump ( cast iron ) is in a workshop. the shop has A/C and heat. even though the shop is located 100 feet off a lake, I have never had any problem with rust or deterioration. I've use the pump for about 2 years for watering plant, etc. on a deck and to wash the deck. no problem so far ! never even considered a SS unit. also my "lift" is about 20 feet and that has been no problem.

I brew my own stout, it's not guiness, but to answer your question. I like to keep 33 to 36 degrees, of course the stock thermostat is not that accurate. I run 35 psi.

I purchased this earlier this summer and have used it for home brewing several times since. I have not had any leaks or issues with it, and would highly recommend the product.

Yes.Found this at the top of the list when I googled it. You might want to try that nifty google thing first.http://www.chuggerpumps.com/home-brewing-pumps-chugger/chugger-pump-products/item/chugger-ss-inline/

Anything above the freezing temperature of the liquid you are using will work. I have used this pump with water from 50degF to 150degF without issues
