Video of HERMS system

Hi everybody !
I made a ultra fast, 5 minutes, grain to carboy, one hand, video of a brewday with my HERMS system!



Thanks!

Thanks for the entertaining video. If only the brew day went that fast.

 

[Hello]

Very interesting sparge "arm" setup. Looks like it works very well.
I had to rewind when you put the carageen (sp) into the boil. I only caught a glimpse of the text and thought you tossed campden in there.

So you take some of your chilled wort and stick it on a stir plate to temper your yeast or were you making a starter for next time?

The yeast in chilled wort on a stir plate was an experiment to avoid wort aeration. I pitched the yeast after 5 hours on the plate.
There is a risk of contamination as the wort stays without yeast for hours. Also this is not the proper way to re-hydrate the yeast !
Nevertheless it worked fine and my FG was as expected. No conclusions yet, I don't recommend this method.

I love to see other people's setups in action. You have a nice brew area, man - under that canopy outside.
