ok everyone, I have been doing BIAB for some time and never had a scorched wort. My current setup is a 240v 5500w rims system with a 2"x 18" rims tube with dual 3/4" outputs. This is the first time this is happening. While bringing the wort up to 149° alpha saach rest I started to notice a burnt smell, so I drained the rims and sure enough the element was covered in burnt flour if you may. The pump is flowing well and I make sure I have good flow prior to turning on the element. After cleaning the element I attempted ramp up again going no higher than 60%..... still scorching. The viscosity is good, and I'm wondering if any one is or has experienced these issues. The element is a lwd element. Im wondering if i need to find a ulwd straight element (or if they even exist cause I'm having a herd time finding them) any insight would help.... thanks
