Hey all HERMS experts.
Can I please request some imput on the liquid flow diagram for my system.
I know that some symbols are wrong etc, and that there is no indication of a coil in the HX, please excuse dodgy diag.
Basic system criteria:
Single pump
As small footprint as possible and portable-ish (I rent)
Run from regular 10A mains (again, I rent)
Gas kettle
PID-controlled electric HLT
PID-controlled electric MLT
"Whirlpool" immersion chiller raised and lowered from above
As simple a wort path as possible
As simple to clean as possible
Movable mashtun (a-la Morebeer 'Tippy')
I want it to eventually be hard-plumbed where possible, but some things will obviously need to be detatchable / flexible.
I am unsure on cleaning - there is currently no way to force tap water through the plumbing unless MLT is detatched and aux cleaning hose is attached in place of MLT outlet, but I am happy with that kind of a medium.
Any constructive comments highly appreciated.
I don't have the parts yet, and I will continue brewing with a ghetto system for now, but I figure it is time to start putting the plan in place for a tidy system I can stick with, and collect remaining parts.
