Does anyone have a brew partner that they can not rely on to keep the brew process running smoothly? I took a friend on board this year and boil overs, overshot temps, etc. He is a good friend but man! I was ramping up from 122 to 150 and left him in charge of turning off the burner. Temp was 148 and I told him to turn off the burner at 150 while I was on my way in my house. I came out a couple minutes later and a few minutes after that I notice it was at 155. Then I quickly turn off the burner and stir the mash to find it jumping to 175! Then it was a 7 minute scramble to bring it back down.
I do more work in terms of correcting and cleaning boil overs and reap only half the beer now. I never had a boil over on my own and if I over shot a temp it was 2-3 degrees.
