with this - my RIMS module

about 500ml volume with a 2000W (240V) element. Made up as a foreigner by one of the fitters at work and the element is out of a $10 electric kettle. Controlled by a cheap e-bay PID and a mechanical relay. Recirculated via stock standard March pump. All held together with big tri-clover clamps so it can be pulled apart and properly cleaned after each brew. Stops the issue of any build up on the element contributing burned flavours.

Disassembled

The re-circ circuit goes Mash tun - March pump - RIMS unit - Mash tun with the RIMS unit at the lowest point so it can never really run dry

The propellor on my beanie doesn't spin that fast. I know you were speaking English, but didn't understand a word you said.

that is f'ing sweet. How much to build me one and ship it to Belgium?

sorry dude - the guy who built it for me did so from "spare parts" and "scrap" at his work .. to buy the materials and stuff would cost a bloody bomb. It cost me a 6 pack and $11 for the electric kettle I scavenged the element from.

It is sweet though isn't it. I got really lucky on that score

This arrived in the mail today- not cheap, but good value indeed for what it is. My present to myself for passing the first of my 3 IBD Diploma of Brewing exams.

Congrats on passing the first IBD exam!!

Oh, and can I have babies with your mash tun as well? I'm pitching tent over here.

Don't even get me started on your f'ing RIMS. :jnj
