I am not sure about a MLT because it does does not have the false bottom but only sleaves. Of course I could be wrong as sleaves in a mash tun might work great.

We use a modified HERMS system where we use a Chillzilla Counterflow Chiller as the Hot water bath. The Wort circulates in the inner tube and the Hot Water in the outer tube. We are able to quickly control our mash.

Your use of the chillzilla is a pretty cool idea. Do you use the same chiller at the end of your boil?

No, but we could. We have two duda diesel plate chillers. One uses a Penguin Glycol chiller to keep iced water as the cooling media for the second plate chiller. We cool the wort first with just tap water while whirlpooling and use the iced water to get to pitch temp. We do two batches so we need a fair amount of cooling. We normally do a 20 gal batch (or more) and then at least a 10 for the Second Batch. Most of the time the second is at least 15 gallons. There are 5 of us so each gets each at least 5 gallons.

We use BruControl for the Process.

Sounds like an impressive setup.

That’s impressive.
