Here is my project of my herms configuration.
There is a little difference with all herms setup i've found online and in the forum, that i think it will be a good idea with benefits in the brewing process.
Premise: i want to.realize an eHerms brewery setup..
I've make a change in kettles setup, according to a teacher of my "brewing school" that i had asked for an help for my eherms setup.
Basically, if normal herms setup had HLT, MASH and BOIL kettle, in mine I've choose to use separate kettle for MASH and FILTERING/SPARGE...
Why? Well, first due to my kettles configuration, because i was trying to don't make too much holes in the kettles, and second because the teacher that i sayd before, tells me: "in professionals setups, MASH and FILTERING/SPARGE aren't in the same pot.. if no one do this, there should be a reason...".
That's why I changed the configuration of normal Herms setup (HLT, MASH, BOIL) in HLT, MASH&BOIL, FILTER/SPARGE&WHIRLPOOL... on this way, after the mash i move all in the third pot for filtering; at the end, i move back in mash pot for the boil, and then in third pot again for the whirlpool.
Here is an hand drawing of the setup.. what do you think about??
P1 and P2 are PUMPS
A, B, C, are kettle's valves
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 are 3way valves (solar valves?? Maybe...)
Green arrows are WATER path/movement
Orange arrows are BEER path/movement
