Just wondering to people that have built their own Herms system, does ur coil sit in the heating element in ur hlt or is there a gap between them
The water in the HLT may only get to 80c, but the element itself gets hotter - if there is direct contact then so can the coil. Probably not 'much' hotter because the wort is flowing through and there will still be lots of water around to help even it out, but it would introduce 'a' hot spot and reduce consistency as the element goes on or off. Unless you can quantify how much, then having at least a small gap would be more certain.Afterlife Spirits85 said:Ok. Im more talking bout in my hlt where the temp would probs get to a max of 80 degrees
