Hi, I've posted here before about getting my PID adjusted right. It holds temperature in the HLT great, but gives too much power (5500w element) during the boil causing boilovers, even when using fermcap.

Anyone know how to set duty cycle on an Inkbird?

thanks
 
I have the same issue. Not boiling over just boiling a little too hard. Did you find a solution. From the manual and playing around it looks like the manual setting only covers on or off, no duty cycle. I think you can set a general max output somewhere in the setup but this would be a little clumsy to change during the brew day. Obviously we want 100% to get it up to boil. A possible work around could be an asymmetrical timer on the pid output. i.e 8 sec on 2 off for 80%.
