I Wanted to share my RIMS setup now that it is complete. RIMS tube, Inkbird controller (IPB-16), and all fittings came from Brew Hardware. I attached the controller, RIMS tube and pump to wood which I painted black. Current process is as follows:
System is working well but I am still trying to figure out the Inkbird controller. I have done two dry runs with just water and the temperature holds perfectly. I have also brewed two batches and the temperature would fluctuate up and down by 4 degrees. Any suggestions? I am going to brew again next weekend so we will see if it works correctly.
Cheers!
- Heat mash water using RIMS tube
- Heat sparge water using propane
- Transfer sparge water to cooler to hold sparge temperature
- Once the mash is complete I hook the pump to the cooler which has the sparge water and sparge until I have my desired pre boil volume.
- Finally time to boil and chill
