Perhaps a "Canada" forum under the "Government" header? We got our CRA distillery licence (first in Toronto since 1933!) and are now working our way through the AGCO: https://www.facebook.com/TorontoDistilleryCo

Hi, like the OP I'm new here, although have found this forum very helpful for many questions I've had. We're in Toronto and received our distillery licence last month (first new distillery in the City of Toronto since before prohibition). We have a small 13 gallon still we've been experimenting with, but are also building out our larger setup. I'd like to re-bump this thread in the hopes of some more feedback re: pumps. We're going to be fermenting wheat grain-in, using 55 gallon open top containers. What i'm looking for is a pump suitable for pumping out the fermenters to load up the still. I need something that can handle the suspended solids, but is still safe for food contact. I've seen several types of pump, including: -centrifugal -lobe pumps -diaphragm -flexible impeller I'm looking for a recommendation for which of these is best for moving grain-in mash? Also, what size inlet and outlet would you recommend? Any brands or models that people have been happy with? Thanks very much. - Jesse Razaqpur
