  One of our problems has been to maintain a consistent mash temp.I've noticed the same problem.
  I'm going to make my new mash re-circ arm to look like something like

  OK, thanks for the info. I thought that it's the other way around, the enzymes in the grains
  (me so stupid). I'm only doing pilsners and the repeatability/taste has been excellent. I guess
  the amount ...

  Yep, I was recirculating the wort all the time and running the pump that heats the HX as
  necessary (sold almost all my gear, I'm in the process of building a new setup mash it self
  was not heated ov...

  I wanted to make a whirlpool kettle that I could use to cool the wort as well. To get the
  whirlpool going small diameter tubing is not an option. I had some 15mm soft copper handy and
  came out with an...

  Blimey, that power regulator costs less than a SSR + heatsink. :tank:Yes, and the only way to
  control the boil intensity is to control the amount of power that goes in.There's a big triac
  inside, a re...

  The problem with this solution is that I can only run 1 element at a time.... using a 30amp
  GFCI circuit.....You could use a cheap power regulator to cut down the BK-power. I don't know
  how big patche...

  .... The other thing I like about this is that I can use pump2 to recirc the MLT whenever I
  want or not at all. I try to pump the wort as little as possible and just recirc during mash
  out.....That so...

  Thanks, I'm glad someone is getting something out of my yarns :)I'm moving and can't take the
  gear with me, at least not the whole brewery. I might get back on to it with a bigger set-up
  once I know w...

  If you can afford another pump and a CF-HX, I would do that. The beauty of the CF-HERMS is that
  you can use the water on the HLT to sparge straight after you have finished your mash
  schedule.If you ha...

  That doesn't help you at all. With the "traditional" herms-setup it's still down to the amount
  of the water you need to heat (HLT or dedicated herms-kettle) and the heating power that you
  have availab...
