Hey guys. Just looking for some input on converting my 3 vessel system to a 2 vessel. I am replacing my cooler hlt and mash tun with a 8 gall megapot with false bottom. I have a blichmann auto Sparge I am mounting to the megapot. My plan is to basically have a horizontal blichmann breweasy. Other equipment includes two chugger pumps, hop rocket with rims tube, and inkbird controller. As far as water volumes here's my concept:
Heat strike water in BK to STRIKE temp (using beersmith calc for temp and volume)
Pump water into mash tun from bottom up
Using Beer Smith fly Sparge volume heat water to MASH temp.
Vorlauf until wort runs clear.
Now using two pumps and a RIMS rocket controlled by inkbird controller with temp sensor in a thermowell in the mash tun, recirculate at set temp from bottom of mash tun to whirlpool inlet in BK, out of BK through rims rocket, back up to auto Sparge arm.
After 60 min recirc at set temp raise temp to mashout using propane burner under BK or with rims rocket. Once mashout is complete pump remaining wort into BK and continue on with brewing.
Sorry about the lengthy post just want some input. Here's a current pic of my rig
