As a beer brewery equipment manufacturer, some of our clients mentioned HERMS heating for mash temperature rising during brewing. Absolutely it is available in craft beer equipment.
HERMS (Heat Exchange Recirculating Mash System) is a popular method used in beer brewing to maintain precise temperature control during the mashing process. It involves the use of a heat exchanger, typically a coil, which is immersed in the mash tun. The system circulates hot water through the coil, transferring heat to the mash and helping to maintain the desired temperature.
To set up a beer brewing system with HERMS heating, you would need the following equipment:
Mash Tun or Mash/latuer tun: This is where the mashing process takes place. It should have sufficient capacity to hold the desired volume of grain and water. The mash tun may also have a false bottom or a manifold system to separate the liquid from the grain.
Heat Exchanger: A heat exchanger, usually a stainless steel coil, is used to circulate mash through hot liquor tank. The coil should be designed in a way that allows for efficient heat transfer. It is typically connected to a pump for recirculation.
Hot Liquor Tank: This is a vessel used to hold and heat the water that supply hot energy for the HERMS coil. It should have a heating element or a burner to heat the water to the desired temperature.
Pump: A pump is required to circulate the hot water from the hot liquor tank through the HERMS coil and back into the mash tun. The pump should have sufficient flow rate and be capable of handling high temperatures.
Temperature Control System: To maintain precise temperature control, you will need a temperature control system that can monitor and regulate the temperature of the mash. This system can be manual or automated, depending on your preference and budget.
It's important to note that this is a general overview of the basic brewery equipment required for a HERMS-based brewing system. The specific setup and equipment may vary depending on your brewing capacity, budget, and personal preferences. It's recommended to consult with experienced brewers or suppliers to tailor the equipment to your specific needs.
