So I want to use 100% to reach strike and boil, but immediately dial it back when target is reached? Thankfully that's easy enough with the profiles

Am I correct in saying the PID doesn't control the power percentage? It just switches the power relay?

Ya they even say that themselves in fairness

All very helpful tips. Thanks everyone!

After some time after plugging out the pill is coming down to closer to the probes. Still have: BLE: 22.0 Rapt temp controller probe: 21.0 Pill: 22.8 The first 2 are consistently 1C apart which is interesting. I suspect the pill will meet one of them given enough time to cool down

Top left corner are the two temp probes and the yellow cap of the pill (unplugged) so all reading from the same place. How the hell am I meant to calibrate???

Just needs Bill Burr to give her a good old Philadelphia rant now

Mine too. Doesn't bother me as much as it should. Probably because I use it exclusively for draining during washing and I'm very zen after pitching and closing up the fermenter.

Pbw says to rinse with the same temp water. Is that not necessary?

Brewfather is excellent. The best there is imo. Rapt/Kegland have a new one out that is quite "similar" but not as fast but is much cheaper with automatic conversion of steps into rapt profiles which is a really cool feature. If kegland can get rapt into a native app (not just a browser...

Yes, they do.

I saw in a documentary about duvel where they bottle condition in a very warm room

3 days of consistent gravity readings means it's safe to bottle (assuming you're somewhere around your fg). A week is usually the minimum in the fermenter. You can increase the temp by 1°C per day to encourage the yeast to do a final bit of work (check the yeast for it's max recommended temp)...

No need for apologies, I didn't find anything wrong with your post! I'd argue you don't even kneed to know about the science of brewing, just like you don't need to know about maillard reactions to brown your onions. You only need to know a few simple rules, how to work your equipment, how to...
