Thanks for your answer @BarryBrews, very interesting! I do not have a temperature sensor at the inlet of the rims. I agree with you that this would be the coldest temperature of the kettle, on the moment I am using my kettle probe temp as the lowest temperature. So I should use this temperature...

I brewed a Belgium tripel recipe yesterday with 20% of wheat/oat, this was the same recipe that scorched/burned my element last time. I succeeded to brew without scorching this time 😀 so thanks again BarryBrews for your support. I didn’t do the protein rest at lower temperature this time and...

Im experimenting with my flow rate as I had a scorched wort/burned element with my first use of my rims installation. i tried another batch yesterday with a slower flow rate and it did not scorch this time. When I use a lower flow rate my PID controller is telling my element to use less power...

Thanks, could you indicate how much boiling water you would add in your size batch to go up to 154?

Thank you very much for your clear explanation! Very helpful. 😀

What would be more or less the amount of boiling water to add to 12 gallon maisch to raise it 10 degrees celsius (50F)?

Aah thats a smart solution! Will keep this in mind for my next weizen. Thanks! Will first try a beer without wheat and see if I experience the same scorching problems.

Is there any way to deal with those problems with wheat?

This is my PID controller

My PID controller does not have such function. I think I can reach the same effect at these lower maisch temperatures by using a low flow rate. as you can see from my measurements the element is using less power at lower flow rates. What do you mean by step infusion?

Ok good to know I can set the set point higher, this would definitely help the wort warming up quicker! I do not know exactly when the scorching happened in my maisch proces but I was using a very high flow rate in my first Rims brew. My theory is that due to the high flow rate the RIMS element...

Thank you for your comments! I did some tests with different flow rates today. I used 12 gallons of water and used a setpoint of 67 degrees celsius with a start temperature of 45 celsius degrees. I measured the temperature in the kettle and RIMS tube every 10 minutes and also checked the power...

Hi, My name is Ruud van Korven, I am a Home brewer living in the Netherlands. I just found my way to this forum as I am brewing with a Rims system since last weekend. Unfortunately my first experience wasn't good as I scorched my wort and burned my element. There is not much information on RIMS...
