I was wondering if the mash tun valve position (wide open, partially closed) makes a difference while recirculating? I know that flow rate should be controlled at the pump output but wasn't sure if there should be restriction at the valve when it comes to trying to avoid a stuck mash.
I've done plenty of single infusion mashes without recirculation but will be doing my first recirculation soon (RIMS system). I have a BrewBuilt kettle with false bottom as my mash tun and Wilser bag for easy grain removal. My pump is a Blichmann Riptide. I'll also be using rice hulls in every batch.
