Maiden Voyage - Combo eBIAB Rig

jcglezen · Jan 31, 2016

First brew day on the combination propane and RIMS tube setup. Did the heavy lifting (heating to strike temp and boiling) with my old trusty burner. Use the RIMS tube to re-circ during mash. Took a while to balance the flow rate, but after a while got it dialed in.

Happy with the set-up thus far. Much shorter brew day than with my 3-vessel all grain process. Also, much smaller footprint which works well with my space-challenged house. Got 73% efficiency. Little concerned about temp stratification in the mash, but I think if I had insulated the tun it would have equalized better. It was about 50 degrees today here in CT.

Cheers everybody!

Congrats with the successful brew. What type of sprayer head is that?

Heard about it in a post by Jinks here HomebrewTalk. Cheap on eBay. Cant figure out how to direct you to the thread, but see the link below.

Looks like a fun contraption. Know of a place to get one of these locally (state side)? Brewing this weekend and don't wanna wait on something to get here on the slow boat.

Edit: almost forgot. Nice looking setup!

Neat rig.

Not aware of a state-side manufacturer. To be honest, although it works just fine, kinda wishing I went with the Loc-Line system available at BrewHardware and other places.
