any issues with brewing a hefeweizen on a E-Brew system? I was just thinking that the high protein level in a hefe could burn on the elements. Are there any issues you might have seen with these beers?
 
I've made many wheat ales on my ebrewery. I do clean the elements in my kettle and RIMS tube, however, after brewing any beer that has lot of protein in it.

A simple going over with a green scruffy is all I do.
 
No issues with high proteins. I've got the electric brewery setup and have done wheat and rye beers at around 50 percent on the grain bill and they have turned up very clean. Just watch out for a black carbon-like buildup on the element.
