getting 10 gallon batches into fermentors

[JakeSparrow]

Hey there, another quick question. I'm gonna be doing 10g BIAB batches, and I wanted to know how to get the wort into the fermentors. I know one safe option is using a pump but financially I cannot really do that. What are some other ways to get the wort into the buckets from my 20g kettle? The burner Im buying doesnt come with a stand option, but I heard stacking it on cinderblocks or bricks works as a makeshift elevation. Any tips?

If a pump i snot in the budget, gravity is your only friend then. Get it up on the air, workbench, table, etc. Of course a metal top would be preferred.

Get this pump. It's cheap and food grade and works perfectly for moving liquid around in a brew system. I use it as my sole pump while brewing, which includes a continuous 60 minute RIMS mash.

I have couple similar to this. They work great and easy to take apart to clean.

Cost effectiveness says get some sturdy cinder/cement blocks and get that baby up a bit.

Thanks guys, looks like that cheap pump is what I'm looking for, Ill have to find some info or videos on how to get it set up. In the meantime I'll definitely use the gravity approach, course I'll have to exercise caution hahah.

There is a very long thread here on HBT about the small tan pump. It's got tons of info and user reviews and quite a few videos.
