Herms Coil Sizing

[Adr_0]

The conversion of your mash will happen at the hottest point of your mash/system.

So, if you are running a 100m coil, you would want to make sure you measure the temps all the way along the coil....


2c.

And this is why you don't set up RIMS with your temp probe right in the middle of your mash with the pump just ticking along,you measure it right in the element tube.

I agree mckenry, overshoot is not the problem but ramp times. Overshoot can be controlled (by PID) but it'll slow ramp time. Ramp time is limited by the volume in your HLT, hence the smaller the better argument.*

* Note this applies to HLT volumes you dirty bastards

People will inevitably want faster ramp times and believe the problem lies in the PID and try to tune this, rather than realising their systemhhas a flipton of lag or capacitance.

this actually defies all logic that bigger shiny things are better, I'm just going to have to put extra lights on the control box to make up for it :lol:

Exactly! We are seeing more 316 stainless which is good. When are we going to see some 150L titanium mash tuns?
