So just to give closure to this thread. I am now using a custom made SS screen with 1/4 openings along with a brew bag. This is allowing me to get enough wort though to keep the pump speed that I want. I still get a little bit of stuck on turb if you may on the element depending on the grain...

I think that's what I'm gonna do, just keep it simple and use the false bottom for what it was intended and incorporate all of the good information that has been provided by all of you!

I see what you mean. I will give her a go without the bag and see how it goes... thanks

So now that I have talked to everyone, I've figured out that I have been keeping the grain in suspension and not letting the grain bed settle causing the rims system to have too much particulate in circulation. I have been using this current combination without any pid and just using a...

So while the brew bag is nice and all, with a slit style bottom if i use rice hulls should I have any issues removing the bag and just using the false bottom alone? Now my keg is set up where I cut the bottom out and it drains out the Sanke fitting. So this allows for a good amount of total...

There may inlay some of my problems. I currently use a brew bag that sits on top of a cross slit style false bottom. This combination tends to plug up fairly easily, even with rice hulls in the grain bed. Im trying to source some ss mesh or screen now that I have been talking with you all. I...

Well i usually try to keep the grain in suspension (don't know if that's the wrong thing to do) in order to keep the brew bag and false bottom from settling in. On this particular tripel, I did a protein rest ( i say rest, but I kept the pump and element running to maintain temp. Which in hind...

Its a fold back LWD. I did find a lot of research on the bubble factor as well. So after I put it all back together the 3rd time I ensured that it was absolutely free of air. Can't say I did that the first few times. The element is a 12" if im not mistaken and the tube is 14" with vertical 3/4...

I have a manual (dial) style controller. And the temp probe is mounted at the opposite end of the rims tube. Vale: So I had full flow on a chugger, no issues there. What I found to be the issue (I think) was the amount of dilution or water per pound of grain vs the amount of free starches...

Update: seems after the time it took to clean the element 3 time I got some starch conversion and I added some more water to dilute, things seem to be going good now.

ok everyone, I have been doing BIAB for some time and never had a scorched wort. My current setup is a 240v 5500w rims system with a 2"x 18" rims tube with dual 3/4" outputs. This is the first time this is happening. While bringing the wort up to 149° alpha saach rest I started to notice a burnt...
