I have a rims tube with a heating element from brewhardware.com. My last batch it looks like a little scorching on the heating element. I had the pump all the way open and the ball valve to let back in the kettle open around 1/2 to 3/4. Tubing is 1/2" ID silicone. I have the PID controller of the Auber dspr320. With the unit, you can specify the heat percentage to be used in the mash output in the program. I set mine to 40% after I noticed heat rising fast, and noticed it was at 100%. Does anyone know what would be an appropriate percentage to use to avoid scorching. My mashtun is a 15 gallons and I do not sparge my all in one. It has usually 9.5 to 10 gallons of liquid before I add the grains. I am just afraid with ball value fully open would get chanelling. For those of you with experience with a rims tube, I would like to hear what you think.
