KegLand MKII Magnetic Drive Pump – 25 Watt
KegLand MKII Magnetic Drive Pump – 25 Watt
Compact, High-Temperature Wort Pumping with a Rotatable Head and Water-Resistant Design
The KegLand MKII Magnetic Drive Pump is a compact and affordable brewing pump designed to move hot wort efficiently while offering the flexibility and durability homebrewers need on brew day. With a center inlet pump head, 5 GPM max flow, and 25 watt motor, this pump is a great option for wort transfers, recirculation, and other brewery tasks where reliable liquid movement matters.
This pump has earned a strong reputation among brewers for delivering dependable performance in a small footprint. It works similarly to other popular magnetic drive brewing pumps, but adds a sealed, more water-resistant housing that helps make it a practical choice for wet brewing environments. Its rotatable pump head can be adjusted in 60-degree increments, giving you multiple orientation options to better fit your system layout.
Designed for Hot Wort Transfers and Homebrew Use
The KegLand MKII is made from food-grade, heat-resistant SPS, allowing it to handle hot brewing liquids at temperatures up to 248°F / 120°C. That makes it well suited for all-grain brewing setups, including moving wort from kettle to fermenter, recirculating during the mash, or transferring hot liquor where a compact pump is preferred.
Because this is a magnetic drive pump, the flow can be restricted on the outlet side without damaging the pump. This gives brewers more control during transfers and recirculation. Like other pumps in this category, it is not self-priming, so it should be installed and used in a way that keeps the pump head flooded before startup.
Flexible Pump Head Orientation for Easier Setup
One of the most practical features of the MKII pump is its rotatable pump head. The head can be repositioned in six different orientations, making it easier to route hoses cleanly and adapt the pump to different brewing setups. This added flexibility is especially helpful for brewers working in tighter spaces or building out more customized systems.
The standard version includes a high-temp plastic center inlet pump head, and optional stainless steel pump head upgrades are available for brewers who want to change the configuration or upgrade materials. This makes the MKII a versatile entry point that can grow with your brewery.

Important Fitting and Use Considerations
This pump uses 1/2" BSP fittings, which is important to note when selecting compatible hardware and accessories. If your brewing setup uses NPT fittings, you may need the appropriate adapters to connect the pump properly.
As with other magnetic drive brewing pumps, the MKII should not be run dry and is best installed below the liquid source when possible to make priming easier. Once properly set up, it offers a reliable and economical way to move wort through your brewing system.
