    Cleaning ss brewtech kettle

    +1 PBW And I used one of these for when a little scrubbing is necessary: https://www.target.com/p/munchkin-deluxe-bottle-brush/-/A-13991501 Just dip in the hot PBW, and just make big circles with your arm. Since the brush is round, no need to turn it, or the kettle, and twist your wrist in weird...

It looks exactly like...

    Omron E5CC settings

    @Youngster this is the one I ordered from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075KCJX8W/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 It looks exactly like the Spike one; once it's delivered, I'll compare it to the one I have, see how similar they are. Looks like there's a little nut on the outside that...

    Omron E5CC settings

    It's the 5500w with 1.5" TC flange and the integrated twist lock prongs, I ordered them with the kettles. One seems to work fine. I need to pull the one and take a look at it. See if maybe there's something else wrong with it. I ordered one of those Dernord brand ones that looks exactly like it...

    Mash temp

    Beersmith doesn't tell you mash conversion efficiency, only a total efficiency, which includes things losses. I have asked Brad Smith to change the one field on the mash side to be current mash efficiency (1st runnings if you will) instead of having the efficiency calculated twice to include...

    Omron E5CC settings

    swapped BK cable over to the HLT port, since I know it works fine. BK element doesn't do anything. It's probably fried. Would still like to get this BK PID setup right though. Input appreciated.

    Omron E5CC settings

    Could someone with an Omron E5CC, or similar, post their boil kettle settings please? I may or may not have goobered something in the settings, element was firing, then stopped. Context: system is 3v eHERMS, 50A 240v GFCI circuit, B2B 50A GroundedBrewing control panel, elements are 5500w ripple...

    Grainfather!!

    Lately I've been doing longer mashes too. Even though my temps are stable. Once I hit roughly 60 minutes or so, I'll start taking refractometer readings ever 10-15 minutes. I made a google sheet that calculates predicted conversion potential, I just keep mashing until the readings get to at...

    Differences between panels?

    I chose the Grounded Brewing 50A panel because it was custom designed, and turn-key ready, for less than I could get a similar panel from other places where I'd have to put the whole thing together. I decided that I didn't really save enough money for a DIY kit to cover the time would really...

    That one looks a lot nicer than the one I got. Why do you wish you one bigger?

    Differences between panels?

    I have a Grounded custom built panel. I can say, without any doubt, that it is fantastic, and I like it far more than I could have liked any of the other panels.
