Beer Pumps: The best application for any pump!



Beer has been one of the essential beverages in human history dating back to Ancient Egypt. Let’s be honest though, it gets around... sporting events, concerts, family cookouts, house parties, college dorm rooms, social gatherings, food recipes, tasting events, start-up offices, The White House, movies, movie sets, songs, desserts, E.T.… the list is virtually endless. Our founding fathers were even home brewers!


As technology has developed, the brewing process has become more simple—yet still an arduous process that requires time, ‘know-how’, and patience. Nevertheless, the influx in home breweries has spiked in the United States, in part to the technical advances overtime. Today there are currently over 37,000 members of the American Homebrewers Association and it is estimated that 1 million people homebrew at least once during a given year. Moreover, Mississippi and Alabama were the last states to have legalized homebrewing in 2013. Mississippi’s law went into effect July 1, 2013.  Great data for the US beer market for sure!


Part of the technology that has made the homebrew process simpler is beer pumps. The utility of using a beer pump allows brewers to use a flat brewing area that pumps from one vessel to another, rather than using gravity to transfer liquids. Ideally, all you have to do is flip a switch saving time and energy. Magnetic driven pumps, like the Chugg and March beer pumps, allows users to adjust the flow of liquid transfer by including a ball valve for pressure changes.

To get a better understanding of this process and how beer pumps tie into brewing, Gary Martin’s enthusiasm for this subject will guide you with more insight and detail.
