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 (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. 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.
