planning HERMS system

[fifebrewer]

Hi guys. I planning on upgrading my system to HERMS. the question is can I recirculate through a rotating sparge arm or will it get clogged up? this is the sparge arm I have http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Stainless_Steel_Rotating_Sparge_Arm.html#.US0njIZDNUQ
and this is the false bottom I plan to use http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Stainless_Steel_Domed_False_Bottom_Large.html#a846193 I this fine enough to stop grain getting in to the HERMS system?

Thanks for you help :thumb:

Yep, don't even think about it :grin:

hard to tell tbh, the holes should be no larger than 2.5mm, preferably 2mm, and the holes in the sparge arm are no where near that big I would imagine.
Have you thought about a stainless aerator, as made by eskimobob :hmm:
