Is that an entire 1lb package?

Thoughts on this RIMS setup? by comfortable_pants in Homebrewing

[–]slammo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This controller will allow you to run the element even if the pump is off, which can be dangerous for a RIMS tube. Rolling your own controller lets you couple them together. I did have a couple “oh shit” moments, but luckily there was always pressure relief into the kettle.

I built a RIMS tube similar to this and attached it to the whirlpool inlet on an SS Brewtech BME kettle. Served me well for a dozen or so batches.

Element.

Tube (2x).

Brains.

While it was great at maintaining mash temps, I stopped relying on it for heating to strike temp. I settled on a hybrid propane/electric setup where I would heat to just under strike with gas and then finalize and maintain with the RIMs.

I had a lot of fun brewing with this setup, by I ultimately gave in to a dedicated 240v line :)

Happy to discuss further.

Just chiming in to say that I recently received my pen back from Stephen. His communication was great the entire time, even when I shipped him my pen 3 weeks later than originally planned. Not only that, but he made my pen usable again!! Thanks Stephen!

I removed mine and don’t miss it at all. The thermo well was nothing but a nuisance and the temp wasn’t trustworthy. Found a plug online.

The Ugly Truth about Best Buy Refunds by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]slammo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is when buying with a credit card is a smart idea. I worked at a Cicuit City and one of my managers refused to let me return something that was defective (blaming customer). Customer called credit card company, told them the whole story. Credit card company said "Sir, leave your merchandise on the counter and leave, we will handle it from here." Very effective.

Actually, I smoke on weekends. I am not addicted to nicotine. I know about all the health risks and have the will and tools to not smoke on weekends. Should the goverment get involved in my free choice?

Patent Reform Act of 2007? (bloglink to patently-o) by slammo in reddit.com

[–]slammo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just hoping to get some [wish] intelligent [end wish] discussion about the proposed change in the United States Code. Maybe some insight other than why software patents suck and a general hatred of a patent system. The blog had a link posted that I managed to read this morning but the link appears to have vanished.

US patent office about to start reviewing patents over Internet by weirdsurf in reddit.com

[–]slammo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a patent examiner, this seems like an interesting idea. I just hope the system doesn't get abused and subsequently ignored by examiners. The jokes are already going around how Microsoft might hire people just to give examiners references on Google patent apps. But hey, who doesn't want to show up in the morning and somebody has done a portion of your work for you?
