Hi folks, first post here, still learning and gaining understanding of various things...
So in learning about the difference between RIMS and HERMS I read this: RIMS vs HERMS | Which Brewing System Should You Pick? - which seems sensible. Except there's one bit there which doesn't match my intuition, or what I'd gathered from other sources - it says that "In a HERMS brewing setup, the wort is gently extracted from the top of the MLT through a pump and a network of pipes." This would seem to imply that the water is never really circulated through the grain bed. With a RIMS system it says the wort is taken from the bottom of the MLT - why would you *not* do this with HERMS? Am I wrong, or is this article wrong, or... I suspect I'm missing some nuance somewhere
Thanks!
