  • Does wort creep into the steam manifold when you close the valve after stepping? Is there a way to stop that?

  • @rnecas It creeeps up a little bit but I use a hose crimp to pinch off the silicone tubing.

  • The mash thickness was 1.5 quarts per lb. I find I get a better eff with a thinner mash. I use Pro-Mash for strike water temp and quantity calculations.

    As for having a herms, this setup has worked great for me. I can step mash with accuracy and make great beer without a pump and the heating element.

  • I am just about to begin steam mashing myself and I agree with HomeDistiller on the mash thickness. You obviously use a thinner mash than typical, what is your ratio and does having the thinner mash present any efficiency issues? Do you have a reference for calculating your strikewater? Otherwise, nice setup and thanks for the vid!

  • i think a herms unit would be much better idea.. and that also looks like a REALLY wet mash
