I use two pumps. One for continuous recirculation of the mash through my counterflow chiller and the other is controlled by a thermostat and pumps hot water from my HLT through the other half of my counterflow to raise the recirculation temperature.
Hope that makes sense.
Yes, it does. I may end up doing something like this for the chilling operation. I'll use the march pump to recirculate the wort and a submerisble pump to recirculate icewater through the IC. Both will be temp controlled. I'm thinking I can start chilling with my hose water to knock the wort down to a certain temp, then switch over the the ice bath and walk away. Or, at least, not have to keep an eye on it.
I also use the same setup for my chilling except that i recirculate from my kettle through the CFC and pass hose water througth the otherside of my CFC back into the HLT and thus only use 1 pump for this stage. I suppose I could use the other pump for recirculating ice bath water but have been too lazy to try this yet.
