    Is an insulated mash tun necessary if recirc with a RIMS heater?

    Short answer should be NO... If the rims is designed correctly it should be more than adequate to maintain and even step the mashing temp of an uninsulated tun (granted your not brewing outside in freezing temps) will an insulated tun hurt? no it should have slight theoretical advantages but do...

    First test of my stovetop RIMS

    I recirculate really low with a tan 24v pump.. I have a flow meter which shows 1.5-1.8 gallons per minute depending on mash.. I get 91% BH efficiency this way at home.

    First test of my stovetop RIMS

    doesnt matter.. if you lay the hose across the top at the edge the liquid should swirl around and mix. I have found no difference in efficience doing it that way and many others do the same. some put a screen on the top and lay the hose on that to prevent the hose from sinking into the grainbed...

    First test of my stovetop RIMS

    a lot of heat is escaping out the top you also do not want to use that fly sparge arm for recirculating the mash unless its submerged under the mash liquid. your cooling, aerating and thus oxidizing your mash much more than you need to if you have that arm suspended like that. I own that same...

    Anyone have one of these filters?

    no I used them in my boil kettle. at the brewpub though for fermenter, we just dump the hops in loose at first we bagged them and tied them to a string to prevent them from dropping to bottom.. now we just pour them in.

    Anyone have one of these filters?

    well It depends on how much solids you are passing through them.. Every time I tried using mine (which is very large btw) it plugged solid withing the first couple mins.

    Anyone have one of these filters?

    sometimes longer, sometimes only 2 days..

    Anyone have one of these filters?

    The racking arm is designed to be turned down in the beginning to keep solids out and then slowly turned up until the beer runs clear when draining. We dump a few times over a couple days prior to draining out conicals giving the hops and yeast more time to settle each time.

    Anyone have one of these filters?

    This appears to be a miniature version of the one I have judging by the body size in relation to that 1.5" tc port... I no longer use mine because as mentioned it plugged up very quickly. I only used mine a couple times when I tried not using my hop spiders... I found the hop spiders were a much...

    Waking up to mash tun at strike temp

    you can use a multistep timer to turn on specific pids or allow the ssr function od certain relays at certain times.. I played with this on my first pid panel , even went to the dspr310 for the added timer/temp activated features but it was more hassle for me to bother with and I found it much...

    First test of my stovetop RIMS

    a 1-2 degree difference is normal and yes you can increase the rims temp but I would make sure the 2 probes are calibrated. also keep in mind that some conversion will take place in the rims at the higher temp as well Most people have thier mash tun completely coverd during the mash so if your...

    Kegco Mill?

    Sounds like you answered your own question and your mills defective then. Thats the only possible outcome if your correct in your assement of the mill being correctly assembled and gapped. If the issue was the design of the mill everyone would be having the same complaint as you and their...
