How do you deal with potential contamination when pumping wort after it's been somewhat chilled? Do you sanitize the pump and lines beforehand?

@jsamuels84 I pump near-boiling wort through the system. This sanitizes the system with heat. Good enough for me. (-:

Great video!  What brand/model pump is that?

@kotsu777 hi; thanks.

It's a March 802, I believe. It's dual-headed, but I only currently use one side.

@seanecoates that's what i figured. so not boiling cause it stalls but near boiling... thanks!

I'm having trouble seeing the recirc-out in your picture in the very beginning. Can you describe how you designed that? And does it whirlpool well enough that it concentrates your trub in the middle? Or is this solely to aid in cooling?

Thank you for posting this. I just started home brewing and would love to get this setup.
