Hello 1st posting here.
I need help with setting up my 2 pumps and hose plumbing on this system I'm revamping.
HLT MLT BK, the MLT is a 52 qt cooler for right this minute. The HLT and BK are keggles. Propane heated and I have a CFC chiller as well as an IC chiller. My plan is to turn the HLT to HERMS by adding a 50' 5/8" o.d. copper coil in it and recirculate the mash through the coil. Also add to the HLT a circulating port to keep the water from not mixing. I batch sparge. In the BK, I have a side pick up tube and a whirlpool arm at about the 4 gallon mark.
My quest is: To have all my hoses set up before the start of brewing and NOT have to remove any during brewing either. It gets soo messy swapping out dripping hoses. I have cam locks on all connections.
I have about 10 1/2" fp ss valves and at least 4 1/2" 3 way T valves. I'm pretty sure I have enough of valving, except I'm getting brain freeze as to where to place the 3 way valves. Can anyone lend a hand?
Pictures work very well for me. But nothing beats a good ole notes from someone thats done it already.
Thanks in advance! Videos explaining your set ups are awesome!!!
