I've a lot of simple questions, and don't want to spam this forum with tons of individual posts.
1. What is the most sanitary form of fittings for kettles?
2. Do automatic pump systems rely on constant recirculation via pumps, or do they have valves on the kettles they can turn on and off via a control panel?
3. With MLTs that fill the "strike water" from below, can this just be done from the bottom valve? Is coming from the actual bottom of the MLT better than through the side at the very bottom of the kettle?
4. What is the best or most consistent way of introducing more water to your MLT, assuming a HERMS coil setup? Either initially or during the sparge. Can they both be done from below? Is this the best way?
5. Is there a benefit to temperature controlling your decoctions?
6. If using a HERMS coil, do you even have to stir your mash, or does constantly recycling the wort ensure a constant temperature?
I may come up with more questions, but that's it for now. Sorry if I'm not understanding something that seems obvious! Thanks for any help.
