So I'm moving house soon and will have a whole garage that I'm going to convert into a bar and for brewing. I'm really interested in building a HERMS set up but there's one thing I can't quite figure out.
So you eat your strike water and transfer it to your mash tun. But then when you want to start circulating your mash water through the coil in the HLT the water won't be up to temp yet as you've just ditched it all into the MT.
So.....do you need a HLT that can heat up your strike and sparge water in one go so you can circulate through your sparge water? In which case is the coil going to be fully submerged in your strike water?
Or..... do I fit an element in my MT and heat my strike water in there while heating water in my HLT?
Hope this makes enough sense that someone can point me in the right direction. Cheers.
