Description

Using an electric Recirculation Infusion Mash System heater to heat your mash is one of the safest and most energy-efficient ways to get your brew to the perfect temperature, and the Blichmann RIMS-Rocket is one of the most popular models on the market today. This innovative heater is designed especially for use with the popular Blichmann HopRocket™ canister, and to install it all you have to do is secure it inside of the canister, plug it in, and monitor the temperature.

The RIMS-Rocket operates with 2000 W, 120V and ultra low watt density in order to perform optimally in your RIMS system. It features a "plug and play" 12-foot long factory wired cable with a molded twist-lock L6-30P plug on one end and a removable plug on the other end, making it easy to clean because there are no dangling cords attached to the side of your heater. Best of all, the ultra low watt density ensures that you’ll never scorch your mash during the heating process! 

Features:

  • The RIMS-Rockettm heating element is 2000 W, 120V, ultra low watt density and is engineered to perform optimally in your RIMS system
  • Removable custom engineered plug means cleaning is a snap - no dangling power cord tethered to your heater and the terminal pins are spray-down capable! 
  • The RIMS-Rockettm heater assembly clamps right into our HopRockettm canister for added versatility and lower cost.
  • The RIMS-Rockettm includes a "plug and play" 12ft factory wired cable with a molded twist-lock L6-30P plug on one end, and our custom removable plug on the other end.
  • Less than Ultra low watt density means NO chance of scorching, and dry-fire capable (although we certainly don't recommend this!)

Please note: mounting bracket sold separately.

For recirculation mashing, since I have a Blichmann electic brew kettel and using the brew kettel for recirculation is problematic because you have to make sure that the wort stays above the heating element or it scorches.

Assuming this doesn't come with temperature control, what is recommended to control temperature with this?
Christopher Oliva on May 6, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Blichmann offers a heat control box that works with this unit and all of their other electric heating elements. These control boxes are very high quality and will give you very easy plug-and-play setup.

The L6-30P plug that comes with it is not compatible with most stock 120v temperature controllers.
Many people will opt to build a custom control panel for their electric brewing systems. That is a great way to make sure you get all of the features and the perfect layout for your own system.
Does this come with the canister?

BEST ANSWER: Hi chuck, yes the HopRocket Canister is included.

No problem RIMS
No real problems. I made a support arm and replaced the plug with 20 AMP plug, (see photo) screwed in the snap on connectors and thermoprobe to make everything fit my system and I was off brewing.
I've used it a month and 5 runs and have no issues with temperature control or scorching. I can do a stepped mash up or down by combining a countercurrent heat exchanger.
Cleanup is easy. It is well made and I expect it to last.
