    All Grain BIAB need help now, element turns off

    Some people using the kind of setup i use have told me that these elements have a thin thread that expands when enough heat is formed and by expanding it shuts off the element after about 30sec-1min, so what i gotta do is open up the element (remove that black box on the outside of the pot) and...

    All Grain BIAB need help now, element turns off

    I've used it before without issues, and the "click" i hear is coming from the element, its like the auto-off feature is kicking in (when you use a boil ketle the water reaches boil then switches off) could it be something like that ?

    No more bubbles in my airlock

    The bubbles dont tell you anything except that the bubbles are moving or not moving. Check gravity, thats the only way to know whats going on. (If you have reached FG, let it sit 2 days and check again, if its the same outcome then fermentation has stopped, let it sit and clear for atleast a...
