First question is, what is the proper way to calibrate a RTD temp probe?
Backstory. I attempted to calibrate the RTDs by submerging the probes in ice water and setting the Mypin TA4 offsets to read 32F. I then brought the HLT up to strike temp while recirculating only to find the water temp was ~15 degrees low according to my two other thermometers I have been using to brew.
Second question is regarding the mypin ta4. Which setting determines the time and or degree to which the controller kicks on and off?
Backstory. Controller works perfect in autotune mode. Heats to half a degree over the set point, let's it fall to half a degree under then heats back up to half over. Then auto tune shuts off, which causes the controller to cycle the relay to my gas valve very erratically. Without using autotune all the time what can I do to help this issue?

Third question. What are you guys using to keep both pellet and whole hops out of the pump during whirlpool in the BK?
Backstory, pretty self explanatory I believe.
Moral of the story, despite missed mash temps, pump clogs and other fun things I still made wort that will make damn fine beer.
