I am building a 3 Keggle brewstand. I am going to go with a gas powered HERMS Setup. My main question is, Do I need a shut off on both the input and the output of the HERMS Coil? I see it as having a ball valve on top of the pumps to regulate the flow, but I don't see the benefit of having to attach two ball valves to the input and the output.

On that same note.... I plan on using my Blichmann Autosparge for the wort return from the HERMS coil. Any objections?

Third and final question.... How does one go about recirculation of the wort in the BK? I have a side/whirlpool pickup. I would assume with using a whirlpool there would be no need to recirculate the boiled wort as it would drive the majority of the trub to the middle of the keggle.


Thanks for your help!
