Hi,
I know this must sound like a idiotic question but maybe someone can help me clarify .
In a HERMS system, the wort is drawn from a mash tun at say 60ºC and is heated inside a coiled serpentine that is dipped in a near boiling liquid (say water). Then exits at higher temp, through a pump and in to the Mahs tun again.
REcirculating this until the Mash temp is achieved. So far so good.
Question is...what happens when the desired temp (say 67ºC) is reached ?
Pump is turned off ? What happens to the wort inside the coiled serpentine that is still dipped inside the near boiling water ? Won't this get "killed enzymes" ?
Thanks for helping
