K40 HERMS Upgrade Kit — Coil + 2 Tri-Clamp Fittings

Turn your K40 Boil Kettle into a HERMS HLT.

Everything that separates our K40 Boil Kettle from the K40 Hot Liquor Tank: the removable HERMS coil — about 11 m of 304 stainless tube, Ø240 mm, about 190 mm tall — and the two 1.5" Tri-Clamp threaded adapters that connect its ends to the kettle. It goes on the two lower front ports, 191 mm apart. Pump the mash liquor through the coil, and the hot liquor around it holds the mash on temperature — no direct heat on the grain.

FAQ

Do I need a pump?
Yes — HERMS means pumping the mash liquor through the coil. Our K40 systems use a 15R pump.

Can I still boil in the kettle?
Yes. Release the clamps, lift the coil out and it is a boil kettle again.

Buying new? The K40 Hot Liquor Tank comes with the coil as a complete set. Starting point: K40 Boil Kettle · More spare parts
