My brewery is in a constant state of upgrade, and I plan to keep upgrading it right on to 1bbl. So, with that in mind, I'm looking at building a two vessel brewery for now. I want to use 2 kegs, and do 10 gal all grain batches. Recently I've started to appreciate the two vessel systems I've seen where the HLT and the BK are the same vessel. And then a HERMS coil is used for maintaining mash temp and chilling by pumping ice water through. What I'm wondering, is if I can design the HLT coil right, so that I can use it to maintain mash temps on a 55 gallon MT. If I run a 1/2 ID coil through the HLT, will I be able to maintain a 55 gallon MT temp with it?
