    Can you please make a video from start to finish making a Beer with this system. I'm a small homebrewer looking to upgrade to a bigger all grain herms system. I've done some research on herms but I have not been able to get my hands on a system. Or can you send me an email when you get time. Thanks Tony

    Very nice dude! Not a expert on brewing or anything. Just looking to start and it seems like you know what you are doing... i dig the setup and would like to get to know a bit more about the process.. you mentioned that you want to upgrade the temperature probes. So if you want to... I'm quite nifty with electronics and code... maybe I can write up something for you for an arduino or something and you help explain the process that you need... so we both will win then!. We can use nice PID loops for the temperature control and timers and stuff . Drop me a mail if you want discuss...

    Hi Tony, any chance you could publish your parts list? I have a 3 keggle system and found your video while researching a HERMS conversion. Your solution looks great and I'd love to replicate it. Thanks.

    great system. Just wondering what batch size you usually brew with it? Is 10 gallon batches easy to do with the 15 gallon capacity? Do you usually do the 14 gallon boils like you said in video?

    When you are recirculating, how do you make sure that the autosparge valve is open? Just set it higher and re-set it when you start the sparge?

    Why exactly are you circulating water through your HLT? Is that just to make sure that there is a uniform temperature throughout the tank? I would think that would ultimately lower the temp in the HLT.

  • @tdiplacito

    @tdiplacito

    To keep the HLT from having stratified temperatures. The HLT burner fires to keep the temp constant.

    Would you say that is a "must have" for a system like this?

  • @tdiplacito

    @tdiplacito

    7 жыл бұрын

    Yes, you are using the coils in the HLT to control mash temperature. If the top of the HLT is 152 and the bottom 162, it's going to be very hard (if not impossible) to control mash temp.

    I have since switched to bigger kettles and HellFire burners, but for that system they worked beautifully. There would have been no need for bigger burners. I started the boil kettle burner at about 3g runoff mark and was withing a few minutes of boil when done with sparge.
