RIMS (Recirculating Infusion Mash System)

A RIMS (Recirculating Infusion Mash System) is a brewing setup that heats and maintains the mash (grain mixture) at precise temperatures to convert starches into fermentable sugars. It uses a heated, circulation loop with a heating element, typically a coil, which continuously moves the mash through the system. This recirculation allows for better temperature control, efficient extraction of sugars, and consistent results. The process involves infusing hot liquid back into the mash to maintain the desired temperature, making it a precise, automated way to mash grains for beer brewing.
