I am currently a 5 gallon/cooler system all-grain brewer...I'm slowly but surely planning a 10 gallon system.
I like the idea of incorporating a heat exchanger, not just for the mash recirc. but also for cooling wort.
Has anyone here seen or built a heat exchanger that both heats and cools wort? I was thinking of utilizing a seperate (smaller) vessel with a metal coil line running through it, with both a heating element (for use during mash recirc.) and a hose connection to run cool water (with the ability to add ice and recirculate when trying to reach pitch temp).
Has anyone here tried something similar? I have only come across heat only heat exchangers. Any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
