I have dumpers for my MT and BK. I've found the best approach for my setup is to let the MT drain as much as possible and then slip a lawn rubbish bag over the MT. Then when I dump it over, most often with a few bangs, the majority of the grains fall into the bag that I then tie off and put in...

Agree 100%. Welding was fun to learn, really easy (flux wire), opens up a ton of construction options and I've used that new skill on lots of other projects now that I've got it. Lots of good, lightly used welders are available at a good price on Craigs List. My rig is made with 1.5X1.5 square...

Love this image. I like your ideas to speed up the process. Especially liking a bypass on the HERMS outlet to allow heating sparge water while recirculating. Currently, I heat ~8 gallons of sparge water in the BK, pump it to the HLT after mashout and then start sparging. I can pretty readily...

I think the HERMS coil works well, but since I don't have anything to compare it to directly, so that's just my opinion. In equilibrium, it heats the MT to about 6F cooler than the HLT pretty quickly, so I just use a 6F offset for my setpoints, when I step mashed a wit, I used 10F to speed it...

First time post for me. I went through this epic thread several months back and got tons of inspiration from all of the clever approaches I saw. So inspired, that I parked my cooler MT, got a welder, some steel and other parts to make my latest rig. It's a keggle based, 2 tier, single pump...
