O.K. I am designing my recirc system and think I will go for a HERM system. My question is concerned with pumping and filtering. I am planning on using a grant out of the MT but this is where my question comes in...
My thought is to place the grant ~12" below the MT and control flow to the grant with a ball valve mounted on the kettle. When the grant fills to the level of the outlet it feeds to a filter and then off to a pump for recirculation. My question is two fold.
1. During initial vorlauf of the mash how do you avoid grains clogging everything up (grant / filter / sparge arm / etc.)?
2. If you don't filter or use a grant, why not? Isn't this bad for the pump?
Thanks
