Check out Chugger pumps. They seem to be less expensive than the March 809/815 series. I wish I would have known about them when I bought my 815. Here's a link from the NB forum about 'em.

Version 1.5.23

I am not familiar with someone who has tried it yet but I myself would not be too convinced to try it out as that amount of electricity will surely hurt. I don't think it would be as effective though as there are some limitations by how much time they require to boil and only up to certain degrees ...

Yeah, the smell of a fermenting bucket can be pretty bad. But I've never had the smell affect a subsequent beer made in that bucket.

I had a similar problem a few years ago with some plastic pails I got from a bakery that originally contained the icing they use to frost cakes. I tried most of the things you have, and like you without great results. But what did work was beaching them in the sun. Just let the barrel sit outside fo...

Hi homebrewer, welcome to the forum. While I can't say that the 815 pump will definitely work, I believe it will. I checked the specs on March's website and they're pretty close to the 809 series pumps that most homebrewers use. The main consideration is the pumps ability to handle high temps. March...
