How is the EBC 130 different than the EBC-SV?

I was just on the Brew Boss site and saw that Darin has a new Swirl Boss. Has anyone tried it and, if so, how does it work? The one I got with my system is the one that clips onto the side of the pot but it isn't very stable and so far I'm not a big fan of it. The new one looks much better as...

My element housing doesn't get much water on it- On purpose.

I wonder if his comments were in regard to an "in-line" site glass, the one that is between the port and the ball valve. I too have the site glass and appreciate the ability to easily measure my starting water volumes, as in previous set-ups I didn't have one and I always felt I wasn't as...

This is just my opinion but my answer to your question about extract vs. all-grain is yes. I feel that I can virtually always pick out an extract brew vs. an all-grain brew. Now, there are tons of variables that could be argued as to the beers I've tasted and I don't argue that. All I know is...

Equipment : 15 gallon Brew Boss Bag/Basket : Basket (COFI) Recirc : stainless steel fittings + silicone hose Crush : Not sure, but double crushed from HB store Typical Sparge : 0 full volume Typical Efficiency : 73% but only first brew

Any hop containment practices that anyone wants to share as per my previous post? Cheers

Yesterday was my first brew session with my new 15 gal COFI Brew Boss system. It was a mixed bag but only because I didn't think through one aspect of my brewing day and it cost me big time! This was my first experience with an electric system and BIAB after years and years of all-grain using...

I got my system back in January and am wondering if there's a software/firmware upgrade that I need to know about? The website shows how to upload an update but, honestly, sounds like a bit of a PITA, coming from someone that's not super computer knowledgable. I have version 1.24. Is the...

I appreciate a sour beer but not really my thing to have a couple pints of. I have never loved Belgium area beers due to the estery flavors you get from their yeast but have recently become intrigued a little with Saison's as I had one a few weeks ago that was super refreshing and really light...

I'm headed to Denver middle of this week and would like to try out some good Denver craft beers. Other than New Belgium, which I don't even think is Denver, I'm not knowledgeable on Denver craft beer. Can I get some recommendations, please? I like pales, IPA's, and stouts/porters. thanks...

I was looking into getting a SS hop filter from Utah Biodiesel until I started reading about poor fluid flow through the filter. Anyone able to comment on this from a practical standpoint. By that I mean, do your beers taste just as good when using the hop filter or are they not as hoppy?

Just to make sure I understand how to do this...So I would: 1) open up your step generator from my MacBook Pro. 2) Create a step file using your BB step generator. 3) Export the .stp file to my MacBook. 4) email the .stp file to myself as an attachment. 5) Open up my email account from tablet...

I was getting some volumes all dialed in today and noticed that when I tried to "Load Saved Brew Step" the brew steps would come up in the list but the actual "program" of those steps wouldn't come up. How do you switch from one brew step file to another?

Did you have these same crash problems when you did wet runs?

Gimpkins, Thanks for posting this tutorial on installing a pickup tube on the Brew Boss. I'm assuming that the feet at the bottom of the COFI filter do not hit that pickup tube, right? Cheers!

I got the 10.1" tablet that Darin sells with my system and haven't had any problems with it at all. Now, I have only done a wet run twice but I guess I'm not understanding why there's interest in a different tablet than what Darin supplies in his kits. Is it because you want to use the tablet...

Will this work just like you've laid out with a Mac? I guess what I'm really asking is if I will be able to hook up the Brew Boss tablet to my Mac in order to upload the brew steps to the tablet like you spelled out.

This seems pretty easy to work with. So what do I do with the brew steps once I've set it up the way I want?

I am getting ready for my first BB brew session but I wanted to ask about programming the brew session. I didn't realize this when I bought the system that I might have to have a different program for every beer I brew due to the different hop schedules. For instance, virtually every beer I...
