After retuning the top controller, ramps are done in 10 mins no problem, then 10 mins mash out with 168 on the mt thermometer, used to take much longer with breweasy setup. After I fly sparge from hlt (using rims rocket to control temp) I swap the plug to bk and boil away. Boil is gonna...

To answer the question of how I clean, first check out the picture of my system (which hopefully shows up, it's a pic when I'm doing a fly sparge). With higher grain bills (Belgian beers) I was struggling with stuck mashes. Because you need to keep the electric coil fully submerged in the...

I insulated my MT as shown, but I'm still struggling with really slow ramp times. I'm gonna do my fifth brew this weekend, I'll try the three to four degree higher set point than desired mash temp. Besides toying with set points, any other tricks to cut down on the mash ramp times? That is...

Here is what I'm using instead of a hop spider... Bought this from here https://utahbiodieselsupply.com/ 6" diameter by 12" long, sits 1" above the coil. I don't have to mess with the bag in a hop spider floating up. Works great. Also bought their hop filter for dry hopping in a corney...

I attached my setup on how I use the therminator. Once I'm boiling, I empty the MT, rinse out spent grains, then fill the MT with PBW, hook up to the inlet of the pump and I'll take the hose (shown going to the fermentor on the picture) and recirc back to the MT. After 15 mins or so I pump the...

I've done this three times, the third time I figured out where I was messing up. If you start the pump with the valve CLOSED on the Inlet of the pump, you make a vacuum in the inlet, and are hopelessly trapped with air, you'll never get the pump to run without getting rid of the entrapped air...
