Equipment Wanted RIMS Kit

[chrispayze]

Hi,

My underback (which I mainly use as a RIMS) is about to die, so I thought it would be a good time to get a proper RIMS kit. If anyone has one they don't use, or components, or even had a good pointer to somewhere I can get one (difficult to find at the moment!), please let me know.

Thanks
Chris

I got mine from brew builder when I had a 3V system.

Yeh, I started there but they don't have a split kit available at the moment. Their email response is a bit sluggish, but they've said they're getting some in (only the tube, not a kit and not split - I assume the downside is cleaning awkwardness?).

Alli express? That’s where I got my sight glass for the split tube.

Sight glass is a must IMO, seeing that crystal clear wort run through is pleasing.

Ah, interesting, I'll have a look. Not bought from them before. Is that from China? Any issues?

Never had a sight glass, maybe I'm missing out!

Might be worth having a look at Dark Farm they have them in stock

No issues but buy from the UK if possible. See above.

I hadn't heard of Dark Farm, been chatting with Gareth today. Seems a good chap.

I’ve recently bought a brew tank with RIMS from them and I am very pleased with the product as well as customer service. Gareth has been very helpful throughout
