It's anyone using a Tower of Power for recirculation BIAB?
Have you seen this thread?
Not sure if this helps with your equipment purchase decision but it seems there will be more to come soon from Blichmann...
I built my recirc system modeled after the tower, mounted on the end of my brewing storage cart.

Thats looks awesome! Where did you get the flow meter and do you find it useful? Do you have an alarm on it like the TOP does?
Thanks!
The setup is really slick. Incredibly consistent temp control - every few mins it fires the burner for a few seconds. I no longer have to babysit the burner when I am trying to hold temps - I was losing 10+ degrees easily with my stainless pot and recirc only. Setup is a breeze, it is very quick to setup and disconnect, just a few wires that plug right in. I see no reason to get the tower, it just looks like more to clean and maintain for me - I prefer to minimize my footprint since I don't have a garage.

Here is mine during the inaugural batch - it was a doppelbock with the full gamut of step mashes.

The build is nearly identical to any recirculating BIAB setup. I'd suggest a search for those threads for better inspiration.
Thought I would update this with the next level....10 gal version! This is very much like blichmanns new breweasy system, keep all the grains in the mash tun and recirc through boil kettle for rims. In my case my mash tun was full so I supplemented with 8# grain in boil kettle in bag. Time for a bigger mash tun....View attachment 173985
