Slowly moving to herms system. just building a herms system slowly. Still using my cooler mash tun with 15 gallon hlt. I am wondering, do you start re circulation right away, or let the mash sit a bit after dough in, to let grain bed settle, or does it even matter?
When to start re-circulating.

If you watch Kals brewing video, it appears he starts his right away and allows his mash to climb to temp.
I use RIMS and always mash in close to temp, wait 15 minutes and then start recirculation. If I don't let the grain bed settle, absorb water it usually turns out to be a stuck mash.

fwiw, as soon as I'm done with doughing-in I start a brief vorlauf just until the wort clears than set the valves to pump through my hex...
