Hello,
I currently have a 15 gallon Concord pot and I love it. I brew all grain with a igloo cooler. I recently got a great deal on 1/2" stainless steel tubing and wanted to make a HERMs system. I have gones throw a few considerations and now i am at a loss and reaching out for the forums knowledge.
1. Do i buy another Concord? either 15 or 20 Gal? I typically do 6 gallon batches. If i do go bigger i would use my existing pot as my HERMs and boil in the larger pot. I am worried that my element may not be completely submerged.
2. Do i buy a cheaper aluminum pot and make that my HERM as it will just be water touching the pot and not wort? Is so could i use a 10 gallon as a HLT/HERMs?
Not looking to jump up to a three pot system yet.
Thanks in advance,
StillShinen
