Hey Richie, I had that exact same question when putting things together. I only have 2 Blichmann controllers and it works out just fine. Basically while I was sparging, I disconnected the controller on the Hop Rocket as it wasn't needed and connected it to the boil. So the mash maintained...

Okay, so after quite a long time I have the bones setup. Had a lot of things come up so this was put on the back burner but more than happy to share my experience with anyone who has questions. Here is what Ive learned so far. 1. It will take you much longer than you think to research and...

Sorry it's been awhile and I know I said I'd keep everyone up to date on progress. Had a few things get in the way and everything went on the back burner for awhile. Finally getting everything out of boxes and setup soon. Will keep you all posted as things progress.

Awesome, thank you so much. I've got a good start to putting everything together and will share some pictures soon.

Okay, so I've started putting everything together and came to a bit of a halt. Need some help as I'm probably just in the weeds on it. My question, I only have two Blichmann electric tower of powers. On their website and everything it says "use one controller for your hot liquor tank and...

Most definitely. I haven't seen anything on a Blichmann all electronic rims system so hopefully I can help.

Sorry for the late update, had lots of things pop up and things got put on the back burner. Finally ordered all the final parts (hopstopper, two 3way valves, all quick disconnects, etc) and was about $800. So basically about $4700 total. Going to set everything up this weekend and will post...

Received notice all my equipment shipped today and will arrive Monday. Of course I'm out of town all next week with work so won't be able to start assembling and providing input until the following week. On a side note, I did receive my temp control for my Ss brewing fermenter today. Can't wait...

Not much of an update but my two Chugger stainless steel center inlet pumps and valves came today. Still waiting on all the Blichmann equipment which said it won't be shipped for another week or more.

Hey matt2d, all good points. The larger batches is the biggest difference. But I ended up getting stainless chugger pumps, and all the valves, (still need hoses) and added things like the autosparge, and TrueMometer shipped and tax for around $3890. So just need a stainless steel stand (prob...

So thanks for chiming in. Sure everything comes down to preference and I could have built something much cheaper but why get into that? Sure I could have gone to the local dump and found some steel barrels or maybe an old toilet to brew out of but that wasn't the purpose of this thread. I was...

kcmobrewer, I'll keep you posted. Said it will be a few weeks till everything arrives but I'll share pics and how things go along the way.

Well the Blichmann electric Tower of Power came in at great fermentations so I decided to pull the trigger and bought everything in the diagram. Will keep everyone posted as the parts arrive and I try to put it all together in case anyone's interested.

Thanks Minbari, I guess I was comparing it to The Electric Brewery's setup. TEB's setup is pretty nice and would produce bigger batches than this but they say it would take roughly "...two to four weeks of working evenings to assemble..." while costing "Total cost: $ 5991 - 6796". I don't have...

Thanks stlbeer, all really great points. Ill definitely look into recirculating thru the RIMS Rocket to help speed up the strike water. The reason I wasn't thinking re-using the tube after the RIMS Rocket to the Boil Kettle because I plan on having that end connected to the AutoSparge...

So I know you can go to The Electric Brewer and follow their plans to create the setup yourself, but I was trying to create a system I could just buy the parts and hook it all together. Since Blichmann has their new electric parts and their electric Tower of Power isn't out yet but Ive priced...

So I've been doing a ton of research on what setup to get for our startup brewpub and believe we want to go with an automated RIMS setup. Plenty of people suggest brewmation which we're looking into but my partners seem sold on the Brew Magic V350. Most people I see on these forums say "Man do...

So after more digging I saw the synergy brewing setup which is much cheaper than say the morebeer and brew magic. Couldn't you add a blichmann tower of power to the synergy setup and have close to the same as the B3 & BM? The synergy also comes with a wort chiller. Just wondering as you'd be...

Oh well that's cool. All the videos I could find had the kitchen sink style. Also couldn't get a good feel for the system from brewmations website.

Dang, those psychobrew setups are expensive. After all the research I'm still undecided lol. The brewmation setups are awesome but the sink design people complain about is a concern. Like a lot of the electric setups, just not sure I wanna go that route. The more beer sculptures look really...
