I'm building a system mostly copied from John "Jrcrilly" Crilly articles and posts. I can't tell you how many times I've poured over his posts and pictures enlarging them to capture fine detail. I have natural gas so I'm using it instead of electric because it should be more efficient and cheaper to operate. I have two Blichmann burners one original I found used and one hellfire. I've decided on 3 Mypin TA4-RNR pids, one is still in shipping along with a lot of other stuff. One for hot liquor tank with herms or boil kettle (haven't made a firm decision on that yet) one with herms recirc and one with boil kettle. Also I ordered a MYPIN HH4-4RN Digital Timer without understanding if it will help at all. My mashtun is a 10 gallon igloo cooler with Blichmann AutoSparge. So two stainless kettles one with a herms coil and a cooler. I got 2 stainless pumps coming as well. I ordered a Regency 18" x 60" two shelf chrome utility cart with casters from webstaurantstore.com to mount it all on. I will be brewing on my patio connecting my natural gas with QD under my outdoor kitchen.
I'm thinking to use my boil kettle to pump water into the mashtun for mash in then use the herms coil already preheated in the HLT for recirc sparge and to keep the temp constant.. Then up the temp on the boil kettle to boil the wort. I also have a Jaded Hydra to chill the wort.
Looking to automate as much as possible so I'll have less to worry over. Any suggestions welcome.
P.S. If any of this doesn't make sense blame it on the whiskey!
