Hey Billy Thanks for the fast reply...

My next question are:

1. Did you build it yourself? any plans?

2. Did you purchase it? and/or where?

3. You stated "HAD" is it now gone??

Where can I get one ?

I have a propane system now and want to convert to an electric controlled system but what to make something that has been tested and working for a while. Need plans got any???

Thanks for all your help in advance, keep brewing :P

[billyd44444]

Yes I built it myself Not using and plans.I still have everything!! and I'm brewing every chance it get. Going to make a stout soon. maybe a new video on how my system works?????

So how come you don't sparge? Are you a no sparge brewer or is that common with RIMS systems?

Awesome set btw!

[billyd44444]

HI, and thank you. I "batch sparge" and I get 80% to 82% efficiency.RIMS systems can get a higher efficiency.

Hey sweet system!! The best I've seen yet. I like how u recycle the water with the element. Did you build your controller?

[Crypticx666]

sweet vid dude! Makes me really wanna have my own RIMS!

Nice system man.

You use the shark bite fittings from the outlets on the pump just wondering if the rest of the pvc piping is just push fitted or is it glued together

What grain are you using to get over 82% efficiency? I've never seen a barley malt that was over 82% extract.

Hey Billy,

great Videos man!! im going to building something similar.

My question is how do you make the false bottom? do you have a video on how that is made>?

Thanks ..big fan!!

@REGreenTeam

There will be losses from the following: 1.  grain absorbing water 2. equipment (kettle deadspace, hopback losses, counterflow chiller losses, etc) 3. evaporation during boiling of the wort (15% per hour is rough estimate) 4. fermentation losses from hops and trub

I usually start with approx 25 litres at the start of boiling and transfer 19 litres to my keg after fermentationa/conditioning is complete. Hope this helps.
