Default pumps

Hi,

I'm looking into various pumps that I could use for pumping my wines
around... as lifting and racking larger demijohns and barrels isn't
really practical for me in my current setup.

I've seen well priced pumps, however they aren't labelled as food grade,
but appear to be made from stainless steel. Brass fittings are the most
common ones available in my area... I'm assuming these aren't that great
of an idea, even in a pump where they wine would see limited contact
with the brass. A friend jokingly suggested coating the insides with
wax!

I've read some good posts, especially by Don Schiller and his filtering
setup in the archives. Anyone have a recommened pump for smaller
volumes?
