Hey guys,
After you've completed mashing, naturally you lauter and sparge, then transfer the liqour to your kettle for hopping, pasturisation, hot breaking of proteins, etc.. Question is, i've never seen a HERMS user with a gas setup. That is to say, I assume that all HERMS users use PID/resistive internal heating elements. It seems kettling is an external-heat job only. Can you kettle-boil your wort with an internal element without fear of scortching?
I don't think you could achieve a rolling boil using the HERMS heat exchanger?
Cheers
