There are many factors more important than the tube size that affect RIMS efficiency. Mash tun size/shape, mash tun heat loss, batch size, OG, and flow rate will affect your success more than the tube size. Your tun design, specifically your false bottom can affect flow rate at OGs above 1.070...

I just purchased the Hydra from Jaded last week. I was ready to shoot holes in my therminator after my last session. I have a Brewer's Hardware 30 gallon with tangential input that I drive with a chugger pump running full out. I ran a trial run with 25 gallons of boiling water, 60 inlet water...

I used the same element and was plagued with scorching any time I used the RIMS to bring the temp of the tun up. I don't claim to understand all of the math behind it, but you need a longer element. Spread the heat over more surface area, i.e. reduce the heat density. CAMCO makes the same...

Picture for clarity.

I built the tubes exactly as depicted on the first post in this thread. I too could not regulate temperature correctly. My tubes are mounted vertically. I had to swap the out flow and the RTD, i.e. put the outflow on the top. I can now hold my mash temps within a degree. There is too much...
