Finally got the new system up and running today on a Russian Imperial Stout.
During the recirculation, the removable table top with the mash tun and pump are at the level of the sparge tank. The copper coil heat exchanger is in the sparge tank.
When the mash is too cool, I heat the sparge tank. When it is too hot, I raise the coil out of the sparge water.
After the recirculation, the pump/mash tun table is moved to a flip out platform at ground level. The sparge runs by gravity to the grain bed and the pump fills the brew kettle at the upper left. The QDs that were connected to the input and output of the copper coil during the mash are joined together for filling the brew kettle. When it is full, the sparge tank is moved away and the brew kettle slides over to the burner. After the boil, the hot wort runs through the CFC on the under side of the table.
