What's a HICKUP? Is that when you give a lift to a southern farmer? [emoji6]
So we had a HICKUP with our vendor but we have that resolved now and have some of the elements on the way. Should be here mid next week!
Cheers

Let me know when you get it all straight. Hope the price dosnt change.
I am ready to order this minus the controller Jay. Let me know when they come in!!!!!
I have a few available at the moment.
Shoot me a PM with the list of parts you want and I will set it up for you.
Cheers

This thrifty RIMS kit is what I have been trying to build in my mind for the last few brews but this is far less cost then what I had planned in my head, I am going to keep watching the site for when they are back in stock.
I posted in my build thread, but thought I'd put a couple of pics here as well. I got my thrifty RIMS tube all wired up and ran it through it's paces this weekend:
Worked like a champ! I'll be brewing with it twice this weekend.
DAMN THAT IS SEXY!
Nice build!
Cheers

Thanks, man, I certainly couldn't have done it without you! FYI there are lots of great pics of your work in my build thread.
I don't know if it is or not. I know I have had otherwise good recirculation stop for whatever reason on occasion so I'd hate for that to happen when firing an electric element. I don't think it's practical to have a liquid sensor in a RIMS tube so I suppose the answer is to not run it unsupervised.I figured once it was going steady it wasn't going to stop. Maybe a bad assumption?

Are these coming back in stock? Seriously considering adding a RIMS system to my mash tun.
The cable will work. The insulation on each wire has to be rated for 120. Most wire is rated for 600 volts. Electricity dosnt care what color the wire is.One other question --
For the heating element, the website mentions 110v or 220v near the top, but further down in the description it says "4,600 watts @ 240v" -- I'm guessing the 240v is a typo?
If not, where can I get my hands on a high voltage computer cable?!
@jaybird
Have you considered the Inkbird IPB-16 as an alternative controller?

Seems more suited for the job.
Cheers!

...doesn't the gauge of the wire matter?
Also, can that element handle 240v or is 220v the max?
The gauge would be for a higher amp rating. If your volts is higher your amps will be lower. So you should be good. Ohms law.
I have. Inkbird as a company seems very hard to get a hold of for wholesale. I have been trying for several weeks now.
