RIMS cherry poppin time

lehr · Dec 21, 2009

Fired up the new RIMS system this weekend and brewed a dunkelweizen
it went pretty well except we got a compacted grain bed buy running the flow to fast. We figured out the flow rate and the rest of the mash went great I couldnt be happier the mash temp stayed dead on.

Good to hear that the RIMS worked well. What did you figure out about lables?

Been a while since I stole an idea from you. :mug:

WOW what a nice setup...

Is the heating element the burner? If not where is it?

lehr · Dec 21, 2009

Ron I just made some labels with a label maker from work I dont have a picture of the panel with the labels on it.

Remilard the element is above the pump and below the punched panel.

Brew boy do you ever go to the redwood for the beer tastings.

Thanks Pat

Great job Pat! I am in the middle of automating my RIMS and you just reminded me that I have to add a manual valve in the RIMS path to regulate the flow. It will be the only manual valve in the brewery. I removed it and forgot to put it back in the system. The good thing is that it will be set it and forget it as I have enough drains and disconnects to thoroughly flush the system out.

Very nice lehr!

Great job, Pat. Did you end up using the auto-tune feature on the PID? What value did you use for the 'output high limit'?

Yes I did use the auto-tune and I set the output high limit at 80%...
Thanks to you it works like a charm.

It took me longer to polish those kegs than it did to build the whole rig !
