Yeah, I know, however I just wanted to draw away from that and back onto what I originally asked for.

Thanks for the great description of your system, it does sound similar to mine. Check you PM and I will try send the PDF straight there.

Let's all stop focusing on the simple part; this is the system I want and keen to know if there are any major design issues and/or tweaks to make things better (with this system). I am not only going for simplicity, but when I can find an easier and/or risk free way to do a stage / process...

Thanks, however I want an all grain setup which is simple to use :)

Okay, makes perfect sense. Think I will opt for the stir motor attached to the lid.

I am assuming that is meant to keep the temperature constant throughout the HLT? Fair point if that is the case, however should it not be taken care of through the natural process of the hot water rising (due to a change in density) from the bottom (due to closer contact to the burner) forcing...

I just want a simple system where I do not have to worry about anything else other than brewing. By using the HLT for a heat exchange (while also directly heating the strike water as you mention) will ensure I never scorch the wort. I prefer HERMS over RIMS mainly for this one reason as it...

Almost forgot to credit goingmad as I took some inspiration from his designs.

Hi All New to the forum, first post. I am finally getting my project started and designed the following HERMS system which I hope to get built soon. Please let me know your thoughts on this design and if there are ways to change to make it better.
