I liked Sawdustguy's DIY RIMS, and combined with the compact two keg system Sizz built. I live in an apartment so space is of the premium and SWMBO doesn't want my hobby taking up much more than it already does. It is easy enough to have a single infusion one keg brewing RIMS - is it possible to do step brewing with an efficient RIMS in one Keggle?
I am hoping (because I already happen to have the supplies to try this with no cost outlay) to have the line out the bottom of my keggle through my heating core, then the pump pushes it through the coil of my CFC (all conveniently wrapped around my keggle and through the manifold at the top of the Keg into my 1/2 bbl keg. To hold the grain in place I have a large grain bag. I guess this is a combination of Grain Bag brewing like extract brewing but on an AG grain bases. I am also aware that I will have no sparge water but I should be able to extract the majority of the sugars from the grain through re-circulation and what will be left with in the grain shouldn't be enough to concern anyone.
Thought I would ask as I am new to AG have done a couple of extract batches - but mostly I have done traditional Mead which needs little more than the standard primary/secondary combo - no pots, etc.
