Ok, so I'm getting a pump, the cheap one from Anvil Brewing. Right now I'm only going to use it for transfers and to vaurloff (maybe whirlpool). I'm planning on just using an in-line ball valve to regulate flow. So my questions are: Will this work? Does placement matter? Ideally I'd like to just have it a few inches from pump outlet. I know it's obvious to use clamps at all connections but I don't want something to come loose as waste precious beer.
will something as simple as this work?
