Multiple flow path recirculating brewing system with removable reservoirs

A brewing system comprising:

• a removable grain steeping compartment;
• a first removable adjunct steeping compartment;
• a recirculating pump connected to a liquid sump;
• a heating mechanism;
• a flow path selecting mechanism connected to said recirculating pump and adapted to change between at least three liquid flow paths, said liquid flow paths comprising:
• a bypass flow path, said bypass flow path causing a liquid to be recirculated through said heating mechanism;
• a steeping flow path, said steeping flow path causing said liquid to be recirculated through said removable grain steeping compartment;
• an adjunct flow path, said adjunct flow path causing said liquid to be recirculated through said first removable adjunct steeping compartment;
• a processor adapted to:
• receive a brewing sequence, said brewing sequence defining a sequence for operating said flow path selecting mechanism, said heat source, and said recirculating pump;
• and
• cause said flow path selecting mechanism, said heat source, and said recirculating pump according to said brewing sequence.
