Electric RIMS for On Demand Sparge Water?

- Despite a few kinks to work out to make it repeatable, it is possible to use a high powered RIMS tube for both mash recirculation AND sparging without the requirement of a separate hot liquor tank. A typical brew day would include putting your strike water into the mash tun, recirculate through the RIMS at full power with the temp set for 165F. After temp is reached, dough in and continue to recirculate with RIMS set for mash temps. Finally, when ready to sparge, run tap water through a filter, through RIMS and onto the grain bed as you drain off to the boil kettle.
Don't mess with electricity if you don't know what you're doing. Always use GFCI circuits for electric brewing.
Would changing the number from 100 to a lower number not put as much power to the element? Seems like if it works like that you could experiment with a power to flow rate that would yield pretty close to 170.
Is it possible to have the PID control the power to the element, not simply on/off? I would think that would equalize at the correct sparge temp.
Great channel👍
Definitely useful for regulating cleaning water temps in a cleaning loop at the end of brewday. Probably would have to start with hot water to run the pump full bore. Have you used it for that particular application before?
Do you sell this controller? Or have wiring diagrams? Been trying to figure out how to run 120 and 240 out of the same box.
I have been trying to research a RIMS system for myself, and based on this video it seems that a 110V setup would work better for holding mash temperatures. Seems the 240v would ramp so quickly it would be finicky to stay at the desired set point and chance scorching. Seems I can direct fire to temp, mash in, then hold / circulate with 120v RIMS. Mashing out seems reasonable to attain as well with the 30° heating differential if I felt I needed to as well. Do you have a preference in voltage for this scenario?
How do u set it to manual mode, I built one and not smart enough to operate it Lol sad put true
