  2. Direct Heated HLT + Direct Heated Mash/Lauter Tun + Boil Kettle
  3. Direct Heated HLT + Unheated Mash/Lauter Tun + Boil Kettle
  4. Stovetop Infusion/Decoction Kettle + Direct Heated Mash/Lauter Tun + Boil Kettle
  5. Stovetop Infusion/Decoction Kettle + Unheated Mash/Lauter Tun + Boil Kettle
  6. Direct Heated HLT w/ Heat Exchanger Recirculation (HERMS) + Direct Heated Mash/Lauter Tun + Boil Kettle
  7. Direct Heated HLT w/ Heat Exchanger Recirculation (HERMS) + Unheated Mash/Lauter Tun + Boil Kettle
  8. Direct Heated HLT + Direct Heated Recirculation Canister (RIMS) + Direct Heated Mash/Lauter Tun + Boil Kettle
  9. Direct Heated HLT + Direct Heated Recirculation Canister (RIMS) + Unheated Mash/Lauter Tun + Boil Kettle
  10. Mash in a Bag/Basket Direct Heated Mash/Lauter/Boil Kettle

Up until now, I've used a 17 gallon kettle as both my HLT and boil kettle while mashing in an Igloo 72qt cooler. I'm not brewing on a MoreBeer single tier sculpture. 15 gallon kettles for HLT, MLT, and BK with a digitally controlled HERMS system.

Hey Jeff,

I run on a Sabco Brew Magic V350MS.

I would love to see a hardware profile made for that system! :D
