    What a sweet set up.

    Can you please make a video from start to finish making a Beer with this system. I'm a small homebrewer looking to upgrade to a bigger all grain herms system. I've done some research on herms but I have not been able to get my hands on a system. Or can you send me an email when you get time. Thanks Tony

    Hi Tony, any chance you could publish your parts list? I have a 3 keggle system and found your video while researching a HERMS conversion. Your solution looks great and I'd love to replicate it. Thanks.

    great system. Just wondering what batch size you usually brew with it? Is 10 gallon batches easy to do with the 15 gallon capacity? Do you usually do the 14 gallon boils like you said in video?

    I think this is exactly what I want to build. Does anyone know of a good video to start building this from scratch? I've got all the tools and 3 empty kegs.

    this looks like an amazing setup i kind of want to replicate it 600$?!??
    for pumps burners and keggles and fittings?!!?

    I've seen other people ask but no reply. Is there any chance you will post a parts list and step by step guild to the build. Amazing job btw

      Lazy people there is everthing in his channel, just watch his videos and think a little bit ! you will have to explore everything to understand everything in brewing

    Its pretty cook but whats the point of such a complex setup?

    How often do you need to turn on your HLT burner in order to keep the recirculating mash at a steady temperature?

    • @tdiplacito
      @tdiplacito  7 років тому

      Austin Woitte during colder months on this system I was able set the flame to maintain temperature. During warmer months, maybe every 10 minutes

  • @spiveyb

    When you are recirculating, how do you make sure that the autosparge valve is open? Just set it higher and re-set it when you start the sparge?

    • @tdiplacito
      @tdiplacito  7 років тому

      spiveyb I set the level control arm after I have mashed in. I should be brewing later this week, I'll do a close up of how I set it.

      Tony DiPlacito thanks! I just got the sparge arm. my efficiency had dropped because of my sparge since upgrading to a herms

    Very nice dude! Not a expert on brewing or anything. Just looking to start and it seems like you know what you are doing... i dig the setup and would like to get to know a bit more about the process.. you mentioned that you want to upgrade the temperature probes. So if you want to... I'm quite nifty with electronics and code... maybe I can write up something for you for an arduino or something and you help explain the process that you need... so we both will win then!. We can use nice PID loops for the temperature control and timers and stuff . Drop me a mail if you want discuss...

  • @coltonleeware95
    @coltonleeware95 7 років тому

    Why exactly are you circulating water through your HLT? Is that just to make sure that there is a uniform temperature throughout the tank? I would think that would ultimately lower the temp in the HLT.

    • @tdiplacito
      @tdiplacito  7 років тому +1

      To keep the HLT from having stratified temperatures. The HLT burner fires to keep the temp constant.

    • @coltonleeware95
      @coltonleeware95 7 років тому

      Would you say that is a "must have" for a system like this?

    • @tdiplacito
      @tdiplacito  7 років тому +2

      Yes, you are using the coils in the HLT to control mash temperature. If the top of the HLT is 152 and the bottom 162, it's going to be very hard (if not impossible) to control mash temp.

      Colton Ware this can be accomplished by stirring. Entirely unnecessary.

    What kind of false bottom do you have in your mash tun?

    • @tdiplacito
      @tdiplacito  7 років тому

      This system had a domed 12 false bottom. The same one I used in my cooler mash tun.

    I like this, but there were times I wasn't completely sea sick from watching the camera sway, any chance you could reshoot those more stable sections, and add even more background noise? Joking, obviously, helpful, but a little editing plz.

      Andrew Donovan these are SQ14’s

    • @ajdonovan5
      @ajdonovan5 6 років тому

      Do you like them? Do they have enough power to heat the keggles?

    • @tdiplacito
      @tdiplacito  6 років тому

      I have since switched to bigger kettles and HellFire burners, but for that system they worked beautifully. There would have been no need for bigger burners. I started the boil kettle burner at about 3g runoff mark and was withing a few minutes of boil when done with sparge.

    • @ajdonovan5

      Roughly $600. everything but the stainless steel tubing was purchased local
