using my wine pump to pump fermented mash

[nicklausjames]

Will it leave any future bad tastes if I use my wine pump to pump fermented mash from my fermenter into the the still?

 

[vacuumpumpman]

what kind of wine pump are you referring to ?

I do believe any mention about stills is not appropriate for this site unless you mistyped

He may live in a country where personal distillation is legal? Or have a license for a small distillery?

But let us make it a more generic question since I had wondered the same thing. If I use a wine pump like the AllInOne to transfer liquid from my primary fermenter into a secondary, what all do I need to clean so that I do not transfer taste/smell to the next batch I transfer? Just the tubing?

 

[vacuumpumpman]

that is correct Maurtis.

But the one thing that caught my eye was the word -
MASH -
so I am assuming that he is using some sort of trash pump.or a diagram pump.

No distillation discussion allowed so lets keep this generic in nature to pumps please.

hear, hear.

I am thinking if you pumped some star san through it, then several gallons of hot water, drain all hoses and pump housings, you should be fine.

Is distilling illegal in Canada, does anyone know?

From what I read, no, it isn't legal. But my local shop sells "equipment" and ingredients. Will also import some fancy copper "equipment" to handle larger volumes. ?? Odd ??

Yes, it is illegal without a license
