March 809 Pump Priming and Malt Conditioning/Wet Milling

Just a quickie. How I prime my pump on brew day and my first try at wet milling or malt conditioning. I like it. I'll probably condition before milling from now on. I notices that the mash runoff was way more consistent and didn't compact much.

bobby,

any limitations on how high the march pump can pump up to? I was hoping my pump could pump up to my HLT. It sits about five feet above the pump.

@ohlancali you shouldn't have any trouble with 5 feet. It may run a little slower, but I think the max head of the March is 12 feet.

I do have a question about your mill gap...I am going to be using my barley crusher for the first time this weekend, should I leave it at the default setting? With my current false bottom, I have not had a stuck sparge yet(only had 3 mashes too). I will be brewing with pale ale malt and crystal 60l

@tomroeder

I don't remember off hand what the stock BC gap is but I like .040 for dry malt and .030 for wet conditioned malt as shown in this video.

CFH!!! So if I were to condition malt, I would weigh out the grains for the recipe(s), combine them all (base and specialty), moisten, crush, and proceed as usual?

@ohlancali

Well technically you could always just use two pumps in series. That would allow you to pump the stuff much higher and over a longer distance depending on how you set it up.
