Herms for beginners

[Nullnvoid]

well, based on your photos my response was a complete waste of time - hopefully someone will benefit from it

MJ what is this setting of the grainbed you speak of? I mash in cold and do not do any slower flow rate than what the recirc will be set at for the duration

As someone whose putting a hex together, your response was great. It was really helpful.

^it used a lot of brain cells...which is always a concern - glad it helped you Russ'

If you can run your sparge water through the HERMS you'll have no such problemo, it works for me.

As Droid said. I pump sparge water thru.

Another question, now that my rig is more efficient, is it just a numbers game (ie SG readings) to determine how much less grain to use?

With my first run, I just went my usual route and ended close to 10 points over.

Yep dial in your standard procedure, then adjust numbers accordingly.
