I'm working on designing an upgrade to my brewing system and want to go with HERMS. While I would love to build my own control panel to control the flame to the HLT/HEX, I barely can make time to brew much less start a major project like that.
I've been thinking about using a Tower of Power controller to control the gas burner under the HLT with the temp sensor on the HEX output. I would recirculate the mash through the HEX during the entire mash, naturally.
Can anyone think of a reason why this wouldn't work? I know TOP is designed to do a direct fired recirculating mash instead of HERMS, but I can't see there being a problem with using it that way. Thoughts?
