I used this thing once and cleaned with a soft sponge/pbw. Replaced brass valves with stainless. 1/2" and 3/4" bottom valve.
I also have four 3 gallon better bottles, a five and a six gallon better bottle, and three 6 gallon glass carboys. I'm now using big mouth bubblers to ferment and...
The "element" in my diagram refers to one of these:

So my understanding was the element receptacle needs to be grounded to the main ground post like this
To the element receptacle I have a line coming from...
I'm putting together a 120v control panel for a rims build and am having a massive brainfart deciding where to go with the neutral off the element outlet.
Sorry for the rickety diagram but I threw it together quick.
Thanks for looking. This is all new to me, but I'm enjoying figuring it...
If I interlock the flow switch to the pump, won't it interfere with the pump during processes other than mashing since there won't be flow through the switch?
I'm far from an electrician so excuse me if that's a dumb question.
Oh and D, this is all I'm worried about -
I was hoping to illustrate that I already understand their usefulness in recirculating systems and to avoid that being a topic of discussion in this particular thread. That being said, if anyone reading this is new to rims/herms, use rice hulls...
dyqik, I'm gathering from you and other...
That could work. I'd check dimensions on the inside to find out if it will restrict flow. Looks like one side is smaller than the other.
As for wiring, I found a diagram that seems to make sense.
Is that what you're thinking?
Currently, I'm in the process of building a compact three tier brewing system with a single pump and a RIMS for mashing.
To sparge I use gravity. Thanks Earth. The top kettle doubles as an HLT and Boil Kettle. I use the bottom kettle as a grant/HLT.
During my over analysis of building...
