Hey everyone, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I'm in the planning stages of building a RIMS system and I'm debating the merits of a single tier vs. a two tier system. My issue is that I can only afford a single pump at this point. I was originally planning a two tier build, with the pump being used to move water from the HLT to the Mash tun, then being used to recirculate the mash. Gravity would then be used to move the wort from the MT to the BK. After the boil, gravity would again be used to move the wort into a carboy on the ground. Chilling will be done via an IC.
My problem is that with the height of a carboy, and the height of my keggles, the MT (igloo cooler) winds up being pretty high. I'd much rather place everything on a single level, but can't really come up with a way to move all the liquids with a single pump. Can anyone offer any help or suggestions?
