Recirculating Single Vessel Breweries

[QldKev]

I use my non-high-temp kaixin up to 77c mash out temps, and it doesn't have any issues. I'm not too worried about whilpooling the kettle, I have a mash paddle that does it easy enough.

I guess if you're lifting the bag from the wort at full volume, you couldn't possibly notice it anyway, unless your wort is crystal clear and like water!

When I drain I see this in the last litre or so left.

The wort going into the top of the bag is absolutely sparkling, but this last little bit is pretty muddy.I guess if it's too heavy for the pump to pull out, it won't even get into the fermenter. I'm just a bit concerned about it getting into the boil and possible undesireable flavours resulting from it.

Hey FB,

How does that temp probe location work for you? I'm deciding whether to knock another hole in my kettle in a better spot. Are you using a PID controller for mash temps?
