Well BIAB has done me well and produced some nice tasting beers along with the great advice I have learnt from fellow AHBers.
But other than making my own beer the other reason I enjoy HB so much is all the tinkering and gadgets you get to make, so Ive decided to try a 3V herms setup.
I have a hammerlok shelving unit to work with so will only fit two vessels on top with some space underneath, so last night I "Gimped" it all up and thought I would share it in the hope of getting some further advice, hints, tips etc?
Here is my Mash setup recirculating through my hermit HX into my new esky mash tun which sits on a small crate so it will gravity feed to the pump.
Then at EOB I transfer into my 20 litre pot to Whirlpool. I get a crap whirlpool with trub everywhere because of my element in the urn and find that whirlpooling in my pot gives me a nice trub cone.
Then finally gravity feed from the pot through the chiller and into the fermenter.
Any comments, suggestions, criticisms??
