I purchased the rims rocket bracket from blichmann
Do you have to fly-sparge or can you just recirculate through the RIMS and then drain all of the water into the BK? Do you mind telling the process of how you fly-sparge with RIMs?

See post 762, and the posts that follow. Yup, done it, higher efficiencies because you wash the grains.
Has anyone else had issues with the temp sensor or cable? My cable was DOA (TOP module read "NO CONT") last year when I received my system, and just now tried to boot it up for cleaning and had the same "NO CONT" message on my TOP module. Have a new cable and sensor in the mail from Blichmann, but I'm tired of having this issue...If I have to replace the stupid cable twice a year, that's a no go...
I had this issue for the first time this morning, I was planning a double brew day. I don't see an issue with the cable or the temp sensor, so I don't know which one is the issue - I guess I have to buy both? Did they make any suggestions on how to this happens, what to avoid?
I wanted to share that by far the best upgrade I've made with my system is outfitting the Blichmann kettles, pump, autoparge, and therminator with 1/2 inch quick disconnects.
6ft and 3.5 ft silicon hoses seem to be the best length for my 20 gallon system.

Stouterson,
What exactly did you buy? How many of each in order to cover it all? I've been wanting to make is upgrade for a while now but haven't been able to determine which quick disconnects are best. Cheers!

How do you guys clean your system?
I've been removing the boilcoil from the BK, then cleaning both separately. Then I reassemble and pump hot pbw through my system...then water...then sanitizer. This is obviously really time-consuming and inefficient.
I've heard of people transferring the beer out of the BK then simply throwing in some water+pbw and letting it run, but I can't imagine the pbw removing any of the trub material stuck to the boilcoil. Also, once it's removed from the coil, it's cycling through the system. Obviously some of that is going to get stuck to the sides of the BK when removing the liquid.
If anyone could shed some light on cleaning the system more efficiently, I'm all ears.
