RIBS takes great pride in the DIY movement and strongly encourages members to build their own brewing equipment when possible. Getting down into the nitty gritty allows for a more complex understanding how the equipment is used in the brewing process. Matt Maffucci is not one to shy away from a project especially if it involves beer as the final product. 
This past weekend a few members ventured down to Matt’s house with quite a bit of grain, some sanitized buckets and a goal to take his brand new 45 gallon Recirculating Infusion Mash System (RIMS) for a first time run. We left with our buckets filled with wort and whole new load of brewing knowledge. We brewed a large pale ale recipe for all participating members. Each member then selected their own unique hops to use, no two members could chose the same hop. Lastly we all fermented with the same yeast. In a few weeks, we will be doing a tasting to compare and contrast the unique hop flavors. Make sure to have a look at the pictures from the event in our gallery and stay tuned for the final results.
