Stout Tanks single tier herms build
« on: July 06, 2014, 12:19:02 am »
I slowly have been gathering all the parts for a gas heated herms build. I have 3 20 gallon stout tanks ordered one each HLT, MT,and BK.
I have a chugger pump , and I am started buying 3 large banjo burners. What I really need to find is someones electrical schematics for a similiar system. I will probably have a electrician wire it for me as I live in 240v land and I am already tired of tripping breakers !!

Why order 3 burners.  In a HERMS build the MLT is not directly heated but rely's on heat exchange between a fired kettle and the MLT itself.  IF you havent ordered the third one yet save yourself the money and stick with 2:)

Cheers,
