    HERMS Brew Station

    At the moment I decided to build HERMS I got two kegs and plastic bucket. I decided to use bucket for HLT only temporary, but with time it turned out as cheap and functional solution, it is made from HDPE(High-density polyethylene) which can withstand higher temperatures (120 C/ 248 F for short...

    Using the HLT HERMS to chill the wort

    I find very few examples of people using their HERMS coil as a chiller, except when it is detached and being used as an immersion chiller. Here's what I plan to do in my single tier, three vessel Electric HERMS build: Recirculate the mash between the MLT and the HERMS-equipped HLT like normal...

    Looking for E-Brew HERMS with 10-15Gal Batch size

    I'm located in Toronto but would happily drive 5-8hrs for the right buy once everything is verified. Looking to buy a nice rig and price range is flexible to reflect what I find. Big fan of Spike and Blichmann, will buy with or without the controller and I already have 1 pump. Thanks!

    Single Tier HERMS System
