Hi,
I just heated up the strike water for my brew and am currently letting the mash tun pre-heat, so this isn't super urgent, but I need to know how to prevent my sight glass from overflowing as the water heats (this is my first time using it). I remember someone saying something in a previous thread of mine about installing a piece of flashing, but how would one do that and can it be done without removing the sight glass? Thanks a million.
EDIT: Amplifying information: This wasn't a huge problem while heating the strike water because I noticed most of the time it would approach the top of the sight glass and then go back down, I'm assuming due to some kind of pressure change and when it did overflow, it was just a few drops. But I can see this becoming a problem during the boil.
