Dude - Thanks for the recipe. By far my favorite of everything I've made so far.
I'm amazed at how quickly the hop flavor changes. It seems that every few days I can detect a slightly differnt hop character. I just wish I could figure out how to lock it at what I think is the sweet spot...
You wont have any trouble with the cold break. I occasionally have trouble with the late addition hops but i've found that if I choke off the stream to about halfway or less then I can avoid pulling in most of the pellets. Once they've had a chance to soften up, I have no problems with the...
I thought the very same thing so ordered a T and another RTD for measurement there but I still had the same problem. It may be that the pickup tube (Blickman 15g pot) pulls more cool wart through while the warmer wart cycles up in a column before being drawn into the pump. I would say though...
It doesn't change the ouput as much as limit the total output over the two second output range. The PID thinks it needs to throw full power to the element in order to get the temp up to set point. If I were at the controls, I know there is about a 5 to 10 second lag between when the power is...
No I didn't. Would that be to lower the amperage going to the element?
Ultimately I think running 110 to the element to control the mash will be the way to go then switch to 220 for the boil. I believe that I should be pushing somewhere around 1400 watts or so at 110 which will slow the...
I had been having problems with my e-kettle always overshooting the set temperature by 2 to 4 deg. The problem I figured was that the time it took to register the heat at the temp probe, there was so much built up heat in the liquid that it would keep climbing past the set point. I tried temp...
