Hi,
I have just set up my new HERMS System heres what i have:
HLT with HERMS coil inside.
Mash Tun
Boiler
All with connections, outlets etc.
I have a couple of questions about my system that I need some clarification on.
1. Do I heat my Strike water through the HERMS Coil or do i just take water directly from the HLT?
2. Once Ive reached my Strike temperature I dough in. Do i immediately send the liquid from the mash tun through my herms coil (which is in water at my mash temp) to maintain the mash temp.
3. Do i keep this running the entire mashing time?
4. I fly sparge so at what point do i start to increase the heat in the HLT for this? Obviously if i do this whilst still mashing then the mash will heat up. If i do it after the mash then ill be waiting for the water to heat before sparging.
Could someone please shed some light. I think Ive explained that clearly. .
Thanks
