I think we are in agreement about the evaporation of DMS. I just thought your statement regarding conversion of SMM to DMS was not accurate.

Boiling point of DMS is 37C.

I could be wrong but I thought the half life for conversion of SMM to DMS was ~30 min at 100C and pH 5.40 If I am correct, half is converted at 30 min and 75% is converted at 1 hour. 75% conversion to DMS should be sufficient providing DMS has a route of escape (evaporation).

Yes boiling with the lid off allows for evaporation of dimethylsulfide (DMS).

Mongoose: Is that a brewhardware rims tube? What element are you using?

What element do you use?

What diameter, length and wattage would you recommend for a 10 gal system?

I am a long time HERMS user and I am contemplating a transition to RIMS. What I would like to know is anyone using 240 vac to power their RIMS element? I get the impression that most are using 240 vac elements powered at 120 vac to benefit from the lower watt-density. However, if I were to...

I do have a HERMS and I do step mash my lagers but what does step mashing have to do with LODO?

I use a 3 vessel system but I was wondering if it is even possible to do LODO brewing with a BIAB system?

Is there no room for another 240 vac breaker in your subpanel? Why not add a 30 amp, 240 vac gfci breaker to your subpanel and wire a new 4 wire outlet?

I am glad you got it working! I find it interesting that Auber uses a contactor for a 2 amp pump. Seems unnecessary when the switch on the door is rated for 10 amps. Another thing I wonder about is running the neutral thru the contactor. Usually neutrals are not switched. Perhaps Doug or...

I have the old version and my son has the new version. Quality of the kettles improved with the new version. That said, I love mine and would buy them again.

Yes

I was having the same problem. I kegged today using a spunding valve set about 2 psi lower than the fermenter pressure. It worked great - no foaming.

My gut feeling (no data) is that 2” will work. I currently do 10 gal batches using a 1.5” steam condenser. I use the 6 gph nozzle. You will obviously need a nozzle with greater flow. Perhaps someone with bigger batch experience will comment here.

Skunkfunk: Since you are in the process of ordering your kettles, I would have Spike weld in a 2" triclover ferrule on the side of your boil kettle (as close to the top as possible) or on the lid. Then pick the sprayer nozzle needed based on your anticipated boil off rate. I used to have a 1...
