I'm using about a 40 litre mash for a typical brew (but it could be as high as 70 litres) and I wouldn't say I have a particularly fast flow rate. Probably about 5-7 litres per minute.
The beauty of using a small volume water bath is that you can control the temperature of the bath based on the temperature of the wort coming out of it. So, no overshoot. What it says on the PID is the temp of the wort
/Phil.
This is more like a RIMS than a HERMS in some aspects. I should have worded my phrase differently.
"A typical HERMS is not capable of step mashing"
"If you build a hybrid RIMS/HERMS heater your results may vary"
"If you overshoot mash temps, your results may vary"
"If you direct fire your RIMS during the recirc with a 100,000 BTU burner, your results may vary"
Etc...
