The Tower of Power is a fully automated RIMS (Recirculation Infusion Mash System) brewery with programmable specifications for use in your home. This system will monitor your temperatures, turn your burners on and off, start and stop pumps for recirculation or sparging, and more. Hold mash or sparge water temps within 0.5°F, perform complex multi-step mashes with ease, and achieve professional brewery-level efficiency from your grain.

The system is adaptable and adjustable to your needs. The basic component is the Control Enclosure, you will need one for your mash tun and you may add another to control your sparge tank as well. The optional Pump Tower is a free-standing unit that is available with or without a Chugger Pump (plastic head) (Please note that March Pump will also work with this setup.)  This unit is great for RIMS but may also be used for regular mashing and sparging.  It features a wort sampling valve, a flow meter, and a low-flow rate alarm, and is mountable on the Blichmann Top Tier. The optional Communications Cable allows you to connect the control unit to a computer; using the free software (Windows XP, Vista, and 7 only) you can program your schedules and control the system remotely. The optional Bushing allows you to install the Control Enclosure's temperature probe on 1/2" NPT threads instead of a 1/2" hole.

Control Enclosure - Each control enclosure includes the following:

• High precision and accuracy PID controller and Class A precision RTD temp sensor.
• Sensor can be installed in any 1/2" hole in your pot for a HLT or into any 1/2" NPT fitting with the included adapter bushing.
• A pilotless electronic ignition control system that adapts to any gas or propane burner (not restricted to Blichmann Burners) The igniter will relight your burner if the flame blown out by a wind and will shut down your gas if a flame is not detected within 10 sec sounding an alarm. Includes industrial ignition electrode and high quality silicone/carbon fiber ignition wire.
• US made gas solenoid valve (installs on your burner gas supply).
• Data port for optional remote monitoring and mash profile programming (unlimited profiles) on your PC (optional communication cable required).
• Convenient cable storage tray in the back of the enclosure to neatly store wires between uses.
