EHERMS - External Heat Exchanger Recirculating Mash System ?? Sounds good to me ... seeing that is how mine is set up...RIMS- Recirculating Infusion Mash systemHERMS- Heat Exchanger Recirculating Mash SystemHRRMS= ??EHERMS=??Just a thought. To make a Steinbier, could I just ditch the hot rocks and substitute an electric element in the recirc loop?I'd have to bypass it after caramelization is done.

Electric HERMSI'm not sure one of those regular electric elements could get hot enough. IIRC, they're dropping in rocks heated to 700df or so. And the granite I got for trying this is still just sitting there......EHERMS=??Just a thought.

This is exactly how my setup is. It's simple, super easy to use, and I have no plans to change it. I haven't had any issues with scorching at all, even when doing fairly quick temp raises.I mash in a converted keg with a full-width SABCO false bottom. This sits on a propane burner. When I want to vorlauf I use a March pump. And if I want to increase the mash temperature I turn on the propane burner while it's recirculating.
