RIMS

[markp]

I am gradually upgrading my brewing system, so looking at various things at the moment.

RIMS - does that mean Recirculating-Insulated-Mashing-System??

Can someone give me a brief explanation of how this works?
Is the wort recirulated back through the mash??
How do I sparge?......Do I sparge?
How is the temperature of the mash maintained? Or does recirculation take place after the mash conversion is complete?

Thanks in advance.

The difference between rims and herms being how they apply the heat. Phil's website seems to be undergoing some changes since I last recommended it, but no doubt it will soon regain the title of one of the most comprehensive British web efforts on the subject.
