Looks really good. I would get the 02 assembly from More Beer and add oxygen to the wort as you transfer to the fermenter. The Blichmann sparge arm as you suggested would complete that brewery. Thats a sweet setup.

Try adding your grains first into the mash tun, then pump your water into the bottom of the mash tun. No dough balls. Great system. I use the same setup with 30-gallon Spike Brewing kettles. I built my entire system, including my control panel with Auber EZ Boil PID's. Spike Brewing was changing their handle design, moving them from the sides to front and back. I bought the 3 30 gallon last of the old inventory kettles for roughly $125 each and drilled them myself. Cheers!

Cool lab protocol at the end

I love this video so much. I’ve watched it multiple times. I’m looking at converting our second kitchen to a brewing room just like this. Love how organized it is and clean. Amazing set up.

Thanks for the step by step. Really helpful on me new brewing journey

Mill some grain, heat some water, close and open some valves, and you have happiness fluid at the end :)

Excellent video! As a amateur brewer with aspirations for better equipment it was great to clearly see the process involved in a three vessel HERMS system.

Excelente video . Extraordinario . Saludos desde Chile . 🇨🇱

Beautiful job!

Very cool system and setup! Im jelly

Brewery goals this ansaloute top notch

I appreciate how meticulous, regimented, skilled, thorough and barefooted he is. That's courageous.

Awesome setup. I’m about to transition to an electric 10 gal system. I just upgraded to a larger fermenter with a peltier cooling system.

I am considering buying the new jacketed SS brewtech fermenter. After about 100 batches, the cooling coil has a fine layer of beer stone that is not coming off. The inside of the fermenter is pristine. Gives me an excuse to buy a toy. 😂

We have such similar systems it is amazing although I am a believer in the Blichmann Pro Pilot Electric System. I would highly recommend the Blichmann grain mill (no I do not have anything to do with them) - it is an amazing mill although I often wonder why I spent this much money on something that mills in a minute - but then some of my final beers attest to why i did:)

Great vid my guy! I've used the Blichmann 200 Litre with HERMS before and its an insanely good piece of kit! Good to see you using it well and properly, would love to be able to try your beer. Always love the comments on brewing videos like these and great to see you have a captive audience asking you questions. As a brewer that brews in a 4000L brewery you do everything like a commercial place would and you can't fault yourself. But I do wonder if you would notice a difference with transferring your wort to the fermenter in more of a closed system (we run our wort into a Co2 purged fermenter with blow off into a bucket to reduce oxygen) and also aerating wort with an oxygen tank (bit more annoying at home). Also adding brewing salts to the mash before after or later is neither here nor there in my opinion but I just add them all into the mash at the start as thats where all the chemistry happens, adjustments in the sparge water for pH and the end of the boil to suit the finished product (usually using baking soda to up the pH before fermentation which brings the pH down again). Anyway, great videos. Keep brewing!

it is an excellent operation system to make craft beer

Wow !!!!

Really nice video! thanks. Question... As you are scooping the grain into the mash tun and mashing are you constantly recirculating the mash through the HERMS coil ?

If you have a carb stone for that unitank you can use that for your aeration with an O2 tank. And then purge after with CO2 to ensure no O2 is trapped in the stone. I found it helps greatly and ensures to very healthy fermentation process.

Great vid! I love watching a HERMS system in action. I have two questions, both regarding salt additions. I noticed you added your salts after mash-in and you added salts to the boil. Why? I always add all my salt additions before mash-in. Thankx.

Very well done with clear instructions and I really appreciate the music and vibe it created. I prefer instructional videos with on screen comments like yours - it forces the author to be concise and clear and its a lot more precise than videos with lots of audio instructions with can sometimes create its own confusion. I have been sitting on the fence for some time debating whether I wanted to invest the time, energy and money on an electric brewery, some of which is driven by a fear of the actual brewing process and its apparent complexity (reading lengthy instructions tends to frustrate and sometime demotivate me). As a visual learner, this was very helpful and has considerably reduced my fear of actual brewing (as strange as that my sound). So, thank you for your time, effort and passion in creating this video - it is truly appreciated. Thank you also for keeping your promise to document your Brew Day - I recognize that this was a lot of effort on your part. The final product though is excellent.

Beautiful setup you have there, very professional looking! Your videos are very well done as well. Have you considered adding an inline O2 to oxygenate your wort instead of having to use a drill to aerate the wort?

great video -wondering what the boil salts were, as u had already added salts to mash ?

I have a HERMS and was told not to add malt very slowly as your strike water is hot and you want to get it to brew temp quickly. Not sure if that's true but it made sense to me as a mashout temp is similar to the strike temp, just add and stir well. I designed and built my own from scratch so have read so many conflicting things about the process. I see you seem to be measuring the temp of the mash at the outlet from the mash tun, I put mine on the inlet of the tun from the exchange coil so the wort rose to the temp of incoming liquor. (I don't know exactly how that control system works to be honest so that may be a far better control algorithm than I can see) Again this is a contentious point in many forums. Anyway great production and what a set up...(envious smile)..I thought I was doing well just painting my garage :) How do you make it and make no mess? I am constantly spilling and sploshing stuff all over the place.

Which pumps do you use?

Nice job! I have a question, what are you doing in minute 16:00? Is it a magnet?

Love your brewery. Gives me something to build towards. If you get a hop basket it will help with making the boil kettle easier to clean. Also why are you introducing oxygen into your wort and fermentation vessel? Everything I read you shouldn’t be, as well as possibly introducing bacteria into the wort.

wich pumps do you use in this video?

What are the electrical requirements for this system?

the entire vide reminded me how poor I am

Why Nice explanation of everything going but why is that door knob on the yellow door so low? LOL!

I like your set up. But I personally didn't care for the music alone with having to read threw the whole vid. It was quite annoying to me.. I know everyone has opinion and I'm not trying to be rude or anything. Like I said, I love your set up! I'm still working on my set up. I wish you the best of luck with your brewing and videos.
