Well, he did say electric in the title.
Yea, I was just curious why he specified electric; it seemed like too good of a thread not to have all info compiled in one place.

Okay, newbie help here...So, if I were to have this sort of set up (http://www.brew-magic.com/rims_brwy_classic.html) and wanted to do step mashes manually, my biggests risks would be that the recirculating wort could become a stuck mash and cause scorching? (how often does this happen if you have a good false bottom?) Is heat resistant insulation absolutely necessary (couldn't you just keep your burner turned on low enough to maintain the temps)? Would the above system work well without any modifications if I'm interested in doing step mashes in the future?
As someone who has been using a 45 gal herms system for a while now....
I just did a complete overhaul/rebuild of my operation:

I decided to go HERMS soley because of the scorch wort risk and my inability to do anything with electrical other than lighting myself up (mans gotta know his limits)...so building a PID was out of the question.
ALthough I do like the RIMS approach as well...
