Steins Brewing Co. Honey Blonde!

I was thinking a plate chiller, the mash would have a double layer screen to prevent particles from entering the chiller.

I had been hard at work researching brewing rigs and trying to come up with a system that is both simplistic, yet everything I would need. The 3 pump system from JonW inspired this idea, though his system is NG, I was trying the figure out the best way to run it with electric but still keep it...
