Thanks for everyone's interest and support! I've reached the limit for beta testers. We'll find out about the thermowell being too close to the element, I might make it shorter depending on the results. You'll also be able to order it with a 1/4" compression fitting instead of the thermowell wh...

Hi folks, I've finally got my RIMS Tube about ready for release. I'm offering a few units to qualified Beta Testers at half price in an effort to get more input and better test the unit. There is the option to order it with a BCS-460 dedicated sensor instead of the thermowell. Here's information on ...

The o-rings replace the compression ring. The compression ring is included just in case you want to make a permanent connection or crimp it to the tip so you can't accidentally pull the probe out.

The cornie just acts as a chimney of sorts and concen...

I'm not operational yet, but I could see the need for more temp inputs.

LOL... Come to think of it he has a Brew Magic!

I also add grain to water. It's easier for me to make sure I don't have dough balls.

A guy in my club adds water to grain though and loves it. He fills from the bottom though and at a slow enough rate to saturate everything... So he says.

Another source... http://www.stirplates.com/probeends.htm The "Machined Compression Fittings" are $13.00, which are compatible with our probes. And the probe ends that they sell look really nice if you want to construct your own probes with thermistors from digikey our mouser. Thanks for ...
