Title says it all. Most systems I see can only run one element at a time, so if you're brewing a 20 gallon batch with two 5500W elements, how do you heat both batches of water? If you heat the strike water, then as soon as you're done mashing in you need to start heating the HLT water, but it's going to be almost an HOUR before you can fire up your HERMS pump because the water will be so cold that it's useless. At that point your mash is almost over.
What's the strategy there? Use propane assisted BK to heat the strike water?
