This is a follow on from this thread "Stirring the mash with a herms system?"
Worth thinking about is the Reverse HERM-IT brewing technique developed by Dent.
Basically you reverse the herm flow so liquid is coming in at the bottom of the tun and the pick up is at the top.The grains float freely .
When you have done most stages you turn the recirc back to nornmal to form your grain bed and clarify your wort.Run off from there to kettle.
Requires a little more plumbing but nothing drastic.
Dent has done some high gravity brews this way and it works well.
I think its worth discussing.
