Do you notice a difference if you put the output of the mash into the bottom part of the herms compared with starting at the top of the coil?

MaxOut said:Yes, the coil is nearly 45'. Through testing I found going in the top reduces the head pressure and increases flow through the coil.
thanks. I have been doing the opposite, like kal, but I always thought top down made more sense.
chrislzh said:Hi Max. May I ask where did you get the 3 boiling kettles?
chrislzh said:Yes Max. Trying to find something like that but no luck.
ProjectOrion said:Love the new additions. Despite the incredible stuff you've done in that brewery I think one the best lessons has been this: befriend an HVAC guy. Guess I'll be adding inoperable commercial fridges to my craigslist feeds, and start inviting my friend's step brother (who happens to have just graduated HVAC tech school..) over more often.
And that hop spider looks really promising, and even better, advances towards everything possible being stainless! Let us know how it works out.

Sounds like you are getting it all dialed in! What did you brew btw?
Bensiff said:How is that stainless filter/strainer from glacier doing for you? I see you are working on kettle filtration for the hops, so is it something that you would only used after the bulk of the material is already seperated. My thought is to go post whirlpool to the glacier strainer to a plate chiller for my application...so what I am really getting at, do you think that would work or do you thinkthe strainer might clog during transfer?
Mr. Woody,
Or should it be Dr. for what you've put into this. Simply amazing build of your brewery. I'm in awe in of what you've done...
Makes my ideas of a great brewery look so small and not so nice.
One question based on your operation diagrams of a 6 gallon batch. Do you use your HERMS for cooling your wort as well? As in move the wort through the HERMS and the keggle is filled with ice water?
Simply amazing and an inspiration to many!!
Also, what is your all-grain Moosehead recipe?
This was my beer of choice while living in Canada and hate the 'stale' tasting version I can buy here in MI.
just went through the whole thread and man, this is awesome. My only question is are you taking applications for friends?
Your Moosehead is missing a hop schedule.
