since my last brew session, where I realized I was going to have to try out my IC with the march pump with silicon tubing as a HERMS due to a mash in of 142 degrees, I have been thinking of switching the HLT to an electric element or perhaps two. I had heard that it was not very effective to use the HERMS for step mashes but easily got 2 degrees a minute variation of temp without any problems with over heating the mash and denaturing the enzymes. Soooo electric is looking pretty sexy for the HLT although I think I will stick with the banjo for the boil as I am uninterested in the elements contacting the actual wort. It seems as though the elements can be done with 110 although 240 clearly looks superior.
