I received this along with the Anvil Foundry brewing system. I have used this pump in 16 batches so far to recirculate wort during the mash, as well as during cooling and whirlpool. I don't use quick disconnects and have never felt the need to, but some people who do may find it hard with this model. I have never used any other brewing pump so I have nothing to compare it to, however it does the job exactly as described. I took away one star because the first time I used it, it struggled to pump wort back up into the mash, even with the flow limiter fully open. I tilted the pump over and back upright again and then it flowed just fine. Also, the flow limiter takes some fine-tuning to get right. I'll have it set to a nice slow flow rate to avoid a stuck mash and when I check on it 15 minutes later it seems to be flowing full speed again (with no change in the tightness of the flow limiter). All in all it seems like a good pump for the money but I have nothing else to compare it to.
