Has anyone seen or used a two vessel HERMS/BIAB setup? I'm thinking of building a 15 gallon system similar to below. Would really prefer to not use a RIMS tube although I know that would probably be an easier solution.
-HLT has heating element and HERMS tube
-MLT used for mash and boil
-Two pumps one for recirculation and one to pump water from HLT on top of grains for sparge
-Pump that runs wort in HERMS tube would have valve that can switch to plate chiller
-Propane fire MLT maybe one for HLT too to speed up
Some questions I haven't been able to answer on my own...
Suggestions for heating element size?
Suggestions for PID controller? (want to do a DIY for fun, not necessarily to save money)
I've seen some HERMS with multiple temperature sensors, can I get away with just using one on the return of the HERMS tube leaving the HLT?
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to offer guidance/advice.
