    Can you share some details on your setup? I'm interested to see where you go with it. I want to do something similar to a RIMS within a year or so.

    This is where I have bought things for the box so far. I will also have to get some coil relays also I will keep you all posted when I do more. I got help with this from another member, which was very helpful thanks.

    I changed my setup to a HERMS system. I think that this will work better than a RIMS system to regulate the temp better

    I probably shouldn't... But I will... Why you say that? RIMS regulates a'ight.

    I would think RIMS allows for temp regulation better/easier than HERMS since your making direct contact with the heat to wort..? Only downside I see with RIMS is one more heating element to account for?

    Is this still a concern if you're using a ULWD element hooked up to a PID?

    If you keep the flow rate high enough it is not a problem. The problem would happen if you recirc too slow or get a stuck mash and your PID goes bananas.
