I am selling this RIMS tube constructed from NPT threaded parts. Reason for sale is that I have converted this portion of my brew rig to tri-clamp. The sale price is $0 + buyer picks up or pays shipping. It weighs about 10 pounds and I am going to try to stuff it in a USPS flat rate box...

I'll definitely test it before it's permanent. That's one advantage of the 3D printing route - it's just extruded plastics and if it doesn't work out how you envisioned, melt it down and print another. Do you have any more details about your set-up and how it didn't work out? How did you mount...

Another friend just got a 3D printer Printrbot Plus and has agreed to print me a mounting bracket for the RIMS! It should have a clip section to hook over the angle iron of the stand, and a curved section to hold the RIMS, which will be mounted horizontally. Holding the Brewers Hardware RIMS...

A friend of mine has agreed to weld a mounting bracket for the new RIMS to the frame for me, and while we're at it we're going to remove the particle board from the top and add some pieces of angle iron to make a frame to support the MLT and the BK. I'm also toying with mounting re-orienting...

Sizz sold this system to me a bit over a year ago. I've been rebuilding it and just put up a pic while running a leak test. I've simplified the fluid paths a bit and am using one pump instead of two. When I'm ready to run the wort chiller, I move one of the pump inlets from the mash liquor tun...

I will definitely post some pics. Your description of doing it with one pump sounds feasible. Sizz was also using Pump 2 to recirculate between the BK and the CFC. No reason you couldn't just swap hoses on one pump and use it for that purpose as well.

I forgot to mention another simple upgrade that's waiting to be welded - the MK and BK are currently sitting on a slab of particle board with holes cut in the bottom to accommodate the outlets from each keg. Due to the angles involved with the outlet plumbing on the kegs, this makes the system...

Thanks! I think in the current plumbing configuration, when fly sparging, pump 1 is used to recirculate some of the output from the MK through the RIMS while fresh water is also being added from the supply. At the same time, pump 2 is used to fill the BK. It's likely I'm missing something as...

I bought the system from him and then got distracted by arrival of kid #3 so I'm currently tinkering with the rig instead of brewing with it. That said, I remember he did not have problems with scorching. He would recirculate pretty fast, usually not as long as a lot of recommendations, but...

It was advertised at $3200

Drove 3 hours yesterday to grab this great deal. I promise to take good care of it!
