This is a 2" Tri-Clover Recirculating Infusion Mash System (RIMS). Capable of maintaining a 200L+ free-flowing mash without scorching. Designed to be used with the KegLand 200L 3 Vessel BrewZilla.

This product is to be installed by a trained professional or electrician as it needs to be wired manually or potentially risk warranty.

1. Proper Use & Unattended Operation

The RIMS (Recirculating Infusion Mash System) is an external heating tool located at the base of the unit. It is designed for active circulation during the brewing process.

• Warning: We strictly do not recommend using the RIMS for unattended overnight heating. Automated heating without supervision can lead to dry-firing, equipment damage, or a safety hazard if a leak or pump failure occurs.

2. Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

To ensure the longevity of the heating element and the integrity of the sight glass, always follow this specific sequence:

RIMS Startup (ON):

1. Open Valves: Ensure all valves in the RIMS pipeline loop are fully open.
2. Engage Pump: Turn the pump on first.
3. Verify Flow: Visually confirm through the sight glass that the tube is completely full and liquid is flowing steadily.
4. Power Heater: Only once flow is confirmed should you turn the RIMS heating element on.

RIMS Shutdown (OFF):

1. Power Off: Turn the RIMS heating element off.
2. Thermal Cool-Down: The element retains significant residual heat even after power is cut. Keep the pump running for 2 to 4 minutes to circulate liquid and cool the element.
3. Power Off Pump: Turn the pump off only after the cool-down period.
4. Close Valves: Secure the pipeline valves.

3. Maintenance & Pre-Flight Inspection

The RIMS assembly is designed to be independently removable for deep cleaning and inspection (simply close the two isolation valves to detach the pipe assembly).

• Inspection: Before every use, inspect the sight glass for chips, cracks, or stress marks. Do not operate if any damage is detected.
• Cleaning: The heating element and internal pipe walls must be clean and free of "beer stone" or organic buildup to prevent localized overheating.
• Y-Strainer Maintenance: The BrewZilla 400L includes a pre-installed Y-type filter before the RIMS intake. You must remove and clean this filter before and after every brew session. A clogged filter will reduce flow rates, causing the RIMS to overheat and potentially damaging the element or sight glass.
