question one)
I'm thinking of making my all grain system into a simple HERMS type system using a pump and an immersion chiller. My question is when performing a stepped mash and/or when just maintaining mash temperature I would be circulating the mash from the mash tun through the pump and chiller that is immersed in hot water in my kettle back into the mash tun. I'm sure i would pick up grain, grain husks and random grain material from the mash tun that would flow through the pump and immersion chiller ... this seems like the standard but I just want to ask outright .... it that ok for my pump (and to a much lesser extent my chiller)?
question two)
I've seen some topics on this BUT ...stainless steel immersion chiller or copper immersion chiller? what do you prefer?
