So I was thinking about slowly working my way towards RIMS. But i was going to try and do it as cheaply as possibly in an incremental fashion. Right now i'm batch sparging with a cube cooler mash tun. The acquisitions process was going to be pump (first to make it easier to brew), then a RIMS tube (just use a johnson controller at first which I already own), then a new igloo cooler and let my cube be the new HLT for fly sparging (gravity). I would circulate the mash by putting the tube into the top of the cooler and pumping out through the port. I was reading on AIH that it was not recommended to use their cooler MTs with a pump because it may result in flow problems. I was assuming i could just not open the valve on the pump all the way to decrease the flow.
I was curious if (1) anyone had tried this and had issues and (2) to get opinions form the braintrust on the setup.
Also, 5 gallon finished batches, 120V rims tube.
Thanks in advance
