Hi, Y'all
I am new to electric brewing, as I have just made the jump from using burners. That being said, I am a bit confused and need help understanding the process of creating a system( I need some sort of schematic) and also need help clarifying some processes. If you have time and can point me in the right direction I would appreciate any help you can give me!
So, to start, I want to list the equipment that I recently purchased from a fellow in my town...it was an extraordinary deal, actually!
-Digiboil 35L kettle
-Brewer's Edge Mash and Boil 35L
-Counter Flow chiller (needs quick detach ports welded on)
-Blichmann 7 gallon fermentor
-A bunch of tubbing with some small accessories that are not worth noting
I know I need to purchase a pump, maybe two.
I am open to purchasing more equipment, too, if needed/recommended.
I plan on purchasing/DIY a glycol chiller in the future, but that's a different conversation.
Here are a few questions.
How many pumps do I need? which ones?
How the heck do I set this up?! If possible is there a schematic you can recommend?
What will brew day procedures look like?
Would it be easier to purchase a new kettle to separate the boil kettle and mash tun? What would you recommend?
Where are the pumps placed and what are their functions intended for? I am a bit confused about recirculatting.
Any other equipment would you suggest?
Guys, I know this post has a ton of questions but I am seeking help and wisdom from those who are experienced. I really desire to learn from all of you so I, too, can brew some darn good beer!
Thank you for any help you provide!

I know the basics, but I want to ensure I am not missing anything.
Is it possible to have a closed system? I would prefer that for obvious reasons.Would it be easier to purchase a new kettle to separate the boil kettle and mash tun? What would you recommend?
