Thanks Kwadric. I am right up the road in Cville. Quick question. You still sparge right?

I have a related question. Whatever route I take whether RIMS or Herms, do you constantly leave the pump running circulating the wort and just add heat when needed to raise the mash temp, or only cycle the pump when you need to?

Thanks for the feedback. What do you think of me just pulling from the bottom of the Blichmann MT under direct heat? I think the louvred screen really traps the heat below the grain bed, so this might be a way of distirbuting it directly to the top of the mash.

Hello, I am hopefully going to build a RIMS type system. I was looking for some advice specifically on equipment. I currently have a Blichmann 10g MT with the louvered false bottom. I use a Rubbermaid 10g cooler for a HLT and have a 10g polarware kettle for heating up strike water and sparge...
