I am getting ready to build my enclosure for my control panel on my HERMS. The way my heat sink is made im going to have to mount this thing inside, so I think I'm going to have to put a cooling fan on my enclosure. My question is how hot does your ssr heat sinks get? My element is a 5500W. And...

I'm in the process of putting mine together (waiting on some more parts). But do you have any insulation on your MLT? I have decided to do this to help maintain my temps better, and to be able to raise the temps up faster since I shouldn't lose as much with it being insulated. But like I said, I...

Use them... I have that setup a cooler with the spring reinforced ss braid, and I did a 50/50 dunkleweizen and I had problems then the next time I used the hulls and no problems... like GRHunter said they are cheap and you wont have to worry about it.

I have plenty of them and its not going to hurt anything anyways. Thanks for the help.

Ok thanks for the quick reply... do you use rice hulls to prevent stuck sparges?

I forgot im using 2 lbs of flaked barley

I just have a couple questions using this grain. According to papazian these grains should be milled... do you just throw this in with the other grains when you mill? And 2nd do you use rice hulls with this? Please help im going to be starting in a couple of hours.

Amen to that brother... I believe just us and Wisconsin is the only states that don't have some sort of conceal carry law. But looks like Wisconsin is going to have theirs soon. Blame it on Chicago. They don't care about anyone below I80!

And I didn't like the fact that this would be permanent. If I do this and I don't like it... there is no easy way of getting this foam off. But nothing is going to beat the R value... but is the extra R value worth it?

This is very true... I figure I would be adding another 20 .lbs or so to the weight a definate down side. I see alot of people use bubble wrap insulation. I haven't seen anyone use that keg koozy before. Can anyone say that this is a good option that has used it for this application?

That is pretty sweet looking... but that wood looks alot better than what my plastic jacket is going to look like. Ill just have to decorate it or something when im finished. But that is what im thinking... when im out doing my mash and its 45 degrees or so, it is going to suck alot of heat out...

I fully understand a HERMS, I have done alot of research on this and I see some who insulate and some who don't. I just haven't seen people use this much insulation. I just think, even though this is a herms, insulation will only help me to maintain a steady mash temp easier. And will enable me...

I do want to open up to do step mashes. But I want to recirculate the mash to get clearer wort. I mash in a converted cooler now (which has ~half the insulation than my future setup) it loses ~2 degrees an hour. But some of my recipes calls for 90 min. mashes and I want to control my temps...

Im in the process of building a HERMS now... it is the average HERMS so I won't go in all of the details. But I love the idea of insulating the MLT even though it is constantly heating and recirculating. I am going to take my keggle and place it into a plastic 55 gallon drum that is cut down to...

Just wanted to post that wisconsin really nows how to brew great beer. ~20 Breweries, all from wisconsin, with 6 or more beers on tap (from each brewery) for this event. Most where very good. Gave me some great ideas what I want to brew next. Only down side was that it was too hectic to talk to...
