So we finally got around to doing a test run on the Brewatron and everything seemed to work out great accept a high amount of heat loss in the RIMS cycle.
What type of flow-rate are you guys using for your when in RIMS recirculation? For our initial test we had it restricted out pretty low, not quit a trickle, but a gallon every few minutes or so. We have a lot of stainless line in our system, so I'm thinking pushing it through so slow is letting it radiate a lot of heat.
Them temp differential between the bottom of the Mash and in input to the RIMS tube was about 4-5 degrees. I just checked out the video of the Sabco Brew Magic and and our recirculation is no where near that fast.
