I would assume that they are LWD as 2200W isn't heaps and it does have a reasonable surface area. I went and had a chat with Kee at KegKing and they use their RIMS tube (very similar to Brewers Hardware) coupled with their element and they don't have any problem with scorching...so I'm really stumpe...

I thought that possibly my method of controlling the RIMS wasn't very good, but with high flow rates the element should be able to be at full power and not cause scorching...correct? For reference, this occurs well below hot break temps...

I have just recently changed my brewing setup from a HERM system to a RIM system and disaster has stuck....my RIMS element chars up virtually immediatly and burns the wort! I thought I had done everything correctly, and as far as I could tell my system is a fairly typical RIMS but for the life of me...

This is actually my post....I was setting up a friends account and was obviously still logged in as him...my bad.

Sorry for the confusion!

But yes, if someone could please help that would be awesome. I have spent too much money on changing this whole thing to a rims for it to not work.

Well as an Australian I would recommend PVC conduit...galvanised conduit pretty much doesn't exist over here! The capability of being able to ground at local points is pretty handy but at the same time it isn't all that difficult to run a cable. PVC could be cheaper and easier to use and has the add...

Afternoon all, I finished my glycol chilling system a few months ago and have been less than impressed with the results. The original plan was to have it circulate though a few fermenters and then also have it able to circulate though a second heat exchanger to aid in cooling down the wort after boi...

Update: Wired up the pressure switch over the weekend and it works a treat! I hadn't brewed in a while so I was heating up cleaning solution and running it though my heat exchangers. Due to being slack during previous brews the heat exchangers were continually blocking and from the graph you could s...

I had another look at this last night and still came up with nothing.

Does anyone have any ideas on this....at all?

Hey everyone! My fermentation setup consists of a heated glycol loop and a cooled glycol loop which is circulated though jackets on each of my fermentors. The heated glycol is stored in a keg which I have converted into a giant RIMS tube and flows into a pump, so two outputs. The cooled glycol sits ...

I ended up purchasing a tecmark 3029 but haven't wired it up yet...only just received my RIMS tube from Brewers Hardware. I intended to get a SPDT but I ended up with a SPST. I assume that when the preset pressure is reached the switch will close...correct? I plan to install it into a tee piece just...
