I was considering the idea of using a small container for a HERMS setup, expecting it to act more like a RIMS tube with the benefit of the wort not touching the actual heating element (and easier cleanup). I haven't really seen any examples of the concept around. Anyone have any links or thoughts on the idea?
I was thinking of using something like a large Bain Marie insert container, or something like it:

The HERMS setup would be strickly for recirculating the wort during mash. This isn't intended to act as a hot liquor tank (i.e. I won't be using the water for anything). And I'm really talking small batches of 5 gallons or so, so the thermal demand isn't especially high and I'd probably use a short 1000W HD water heater element that would fit in such a container.
thanks in advance.
