I am about to loose my 10 gallon cooler in favor of a 30 gallon Blichmann and a march 809 pump and set up a rims system and I have some questions for you more experienced folks...
How important is the flow rate on recirculating the wort?
Should I recirculate constantly during the mash?
I have a home made sparge device made out of a coiled up section of 1/4 inch soft copper tubing with holes drilled in the underside that I've been using with pretty good success so far. It's like a giant showerhead. Can I use this to recirculate the wort or would it be better if I just pump the wort out of a hose into the top of the grain bed?
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated before I drop my cash on this new 30 gallon pot!
