I have been considering uping my brew stand to a RIMS or a HERMS system.
Here is what I am thinking instead. Taking coiled copper, much like a wort
chiller, and installing it into my mash tun. Than pumping hot water from my HLT
through it. For example, when i go to mash out I would heat my water to 170
and pump it through the copper in the mash tun until the temp is reached.
This would alaw the heat exchange to take place right in the mash tun without
the temperature ever exceeding the target temp. It would also keep only
clean water runing through my lines makeing them easier to keep clean and
maintain. What do you think?
