I want to start out by staying this review is not me bashing on BrewHardware. I have only had super good experiences and will continue to order from BrewHardware.
Also i want to say i never reached out to BrewHardware about the issues i had as it happened months after use and i have no way of pin pointing the issue. For me i don't believe on pushing issues on retailers unless i have good reason to do so.
so to start off. I purchased this RIMS system for a 2V set up. i had the RIMS tube set up horizontally and it worked flawlessly for 7 months or so. the quality of the RIMS tube is amazing and i have 0 complaints about it. I highly highly suggest buying the tube if you plan on making a RIMS set up. To the point. the past 4 Brew days the RIMS scorched my wort extremely bad. the first two times i took it as user error and accepted the loss. The last 2 brew days i make sure everything was set up perfectly, took advice from others and watch carefully. Only to have the heating element scorch once more.
I don't know what caused this issue. the PID controller, user error, or the element going bad. with that said i would highly suggest buy the RIMS tube but not the Ink bird controller and element as kit. I could be the only one with the issue who knows. I just wanted to share my experience and thoughts on this as it's not cheap and honestly i am unhappy at my situation.
i plan to add pictures and edit this thread once i have a moment.
