Additionally, the brew-boss system recirculates so rice hulls help with that as well...

Rice hulls are popular for mashes that contain large percentages of husk-less malt such as wheat or rye, they supply some husk so to speak which allows for easier recirculation and lautering, plus they are relatively cheap and are flavorless. Because my basket mesh is tighter than a BB COFI...

I do a Roggenbier that's 45% rye malt, used about 3/4 pound of rice hulls and I gently stirred the mash often, no issues. My system uses an after market 500u basket with a DIY COFI style center sparge. You can also add a beta glucan rest to help make the mash less sticky, but I've never tried it.

This looks like the spreadsheet from Kai Troester. We kinda need all the info you input and which tab you are using basic or advanced. The little bit you've shown so far is not enough to go on to answer your question.

He's doing BIAB so that should be for the full volume, he set the "A" volume to 100%, however I am not familiar with that particular calculator, so I certainly could be misinterpreting. @10bketing10 What is your grist and starting water profile? FWIW, I'm doing a Helles tomorrow and only...

Does your calculator predict your mash pH based on your grist? In general the pH of your water is irrelevant it's the pH of your mash that you need to target.

If it were me I'd remove the silicone feet and use a stainless bolt and two nuts per leg. The head of the bolt will now become the "foot", thread one nut on then stick the bolt in the hole where the silicone foot was then thread the second nut on to lock it in place. Move the nuts to adjust the...

No problem, I've heard the tilt tip as well but it has never really been an issue for me. Rotating the spigot gets it's inlet away from the very bottom, just don't go up past 3:00 or you will get a little leakage from the weep hole on the front of the spigot. Like I said I get little bursts of...

FWIW, I've used Spiedels for 140+ batches and have never had a clog using the spigot. Before kegging I'll rotate the spigot so it points to 3 o'clock then clear it by draining a half-pint into a measuring cup. During the transfer, periodically I'll see a bit of the yeast cake getting sucked in...

Starting on page 64 of the Legacy Brew-Boss Manual (v2.07) are the instructions for connecting your controller to your home network. I'm reasonably certain that the initial screenshots show the default Brew-Boss network values.

HERE is a pretty thorough exploration of a number of mash variables in the quest for maximum fermentability. I think the takeaway is 75 min @153F... YMMV :D

My Haier quit working at some point a while ago here are some links that might be helpful. For mine I believe I took the start relay apart, cleaned contacts and flipped the wafer, been running ever since...

Yep, you need a dedicated device if you want continuous updates. They have an image to load on a $35 Rasberry Pi that will do the trick.

I've never had the real thing either, but thoroughly enjoyed the recipe from the book...

Yes, they are the same.

I like this beer as well, I'll be interested in your progress.

In mine the wire you have marked red goes to the spot marked green on the board. The wire marked green goes to the circle next to the resistor in your photo. You can see the broken end of the wire soldered there.

FWIW, relative to Martin's question, I've done about six shorter boil brews so far this year and about every other batch is a lager for me, typically using CMC pils @ 1.8L 60 - 70% and Avangard Vienna @ 3.6L 20 - 30 %, maybe a little wheat, carahell or caramunich depending on what I want. I also...

It's more of a perception thing I suppose, you just put in the boil hops and the next thing you know you have to get the chiller in, late additions, etc. In reality it's obviously no different than what has to happen after the 30 min mark on a longer boil (I used to do 75 min) it just feels...

I've moved to shorter boils as well, although I've backed off to a 45 minute boil just to give myself a little breathing room. At 30 min you really need to be focused and on top of your game since it's such a short period of time :D Relative to your question, I have not had a low boil-off rate...
