Is the second valve on your kettle for Whirlpooling? IF so, what made you/why did you mount it where you did?
Yes it is for whirlpooling, I got the 70 litre at the start when i was only doing single batches (20-25L) with the option to do double. I place it there to be able to do single batches.
I collect the water exiting my chiller in my hlt and its already hoyt
pump into kettle full to brim. Add half a pack of napisan and leave overnight
i dont recycle this. It gets tipped
i been looking over the rigs here as i think i am going 3V maybe herms or rims using a little brown pump to kick off on a single level brew rig but have a question
what do most do with the spent grain to get it out of the tun ? do most just manhandle them off the rig to empty ?
some of the tuns look fairly locked into position with piping and temp probes etc.
i was thinking to keep the tun fairly movable for emptying would make like easier ? either my big esky or a keggle tun...
input or the chance to come look at your 3V in BNE would be appreciated
thanks
Hi guys, Here is my Herms, take 2..... Still a work in progress, have cleaned up the wiring a bit and still has a few issues with the heat the rambo burner puts out (into everything else around it), but all in all system works well. Uses 2 PID contollers to regulate the HLT and HE temps.

Well after 10 Biabs I decied to upgrade to a 3v herms system using Nevs Hex build and herm it pump.
Managed to get some shelving from work that was being disposed of and designed something to suit.
Even has a hose rack to hang all my hoses. Haven't brewed on it yet though.

Hi Guys,
I've been working on a blog for my RIMS brewery which I built about a year ago. http://greyghostbrewery.wordpress.com/
It's my first AG brewery, excluding the plastic bucket system I started out with. There have been continuos upgrades since it's first inception and it will continue to evolve as time goes on.
There are a few pics and a heap of info about the system and my other gear. I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions.
Cheers!
