Would the 1/2 inch ported pump work for a mini cream machine?

Keith- yes, we are picking up three of parkers smaller bushes-and expanding the one that you and I looked at last March- Parker is focusing his efforts on the new 1000 tap set up in Salisbury. I was thinking about that pump the other day- figured you must be getting a bigger pump as I saw your tap count going up.

best of luck...

Chris it will work fine.I built one w/ a 1/2" port pump.Turn the pump slow 170 rpm @ the shaft.I used a 3/4 hp 1725rpm capacitor start motor with a 10:1 gearbox has plenty of power for chilled syrup.
