I too would love to hear what items should be tweaked on the BS brew-boss profile. I have only used the profile once since getting my Brew-Boss. I under-estimated the loss due to boil/dead space. (5 gal in 15 gal COFI kettle) As a result I ended wiith 4.5ish into fermentor. Next batch will assume 1.5 gal boil loss in BS.
Others?
I'm having a bunch of issues with it crashing. Last night I brewed and got through everything and went to clean up and circ some hot PPW through the system. For the life of me I could not get the heating element to turn on. I power cycled the tablet, unplugged everything, dropped wifi and reconnected. No matter what I did I could not get the heating element to turn on. The pump would recirc so I know that it was connected. Has anyone had this issue?
Has anyone used the Brew-Boss for a multi-day brew process? I'm thinking of a kettle-soured style like Berliner Weisse where the temperature is held in an elevated range for a few days before the boil.

So I am wiring up my system. I didn't get a plug from Darin when I ordered my system. I picked up a 30amp dryer plug and receptacle to complete this. Looking for some advice. The three wires on the controller get hooked up to the plug with the green hooked up to the L prong the white and black wires going to the flat prongs? Is this correct?
I also bought a GFCI breaker for my breaker box. When hooking up those wires the white is the neutral which would be hooked up to the slot for the L shaped prong with the red and black being hot lines going to the slots for the flat prongs? Is this correct?

i had to restart the app at least 8 times to get it running due to crashes last session. it also crashes when editing. it is the only program running on my android. also when editing the keyboard covers the line you are trying to edit so you're blindly typing. love the system but the app makes it very frustrating.

E-mail Darrin ask him for the older version, it seems to be working for me.
As for the editing issue, you should be able to scroll the line you are working on up to where you can see it.
Not sure how to say it but I am wanting to do a fresh squeezed clone and have been looking into setting the brew steps for the brew boss and am not sure how to post my steps. If someone has done this already could you post if you know how so I can compare to my steps. This will be my first brew using the brew boss and want to make sure I have it right or if a guru on the brew boss could give me there contact info so I can make sure I have it right that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I just updated the Brew Boss step generator on my site to now allow you to also load a step file in addition to exporting. I also added the ability to give the step file a name when exporting. Let me know about any bugs. (this will still not work in IE)

1) open up your step generator from my MacBook Pro. 2) Create a step file using your BB step generator. 3) Export the .stp file to my MacBook. 4) email the .stp file to myself as an attachment. 5) Open up my email account from tablet that has the BB app on it. 6) Download the .stp file from my email to my tablet. 7) Place that .stp file into the appropriate folder of the BB app (but I don't know where to find this folder). 5) then use the step file in a brew.

Maybe this has been covered before, but 88 pages is a lot to read through!
I've just was given a big bag of fresh hops, where as I usually use pellets. How do you guys filter out whole hops used in the boil? I assume if I just let them float free they would clog the the pump and/or counterflow chiller when I transfer to my fermenter.
I suppose I could grab a hop sock, but don't those things have kinda poor circulation/utilization.....
Yes. I will either use my SS filter from arbor fab or a Wilser bag designed to fit my entire kettle. The bag provides a lot more flow area for the hops, but I taste no difference in my beers when using the SS filter.
I've never read where anyone actually compared the IBUs between the methods with lab analysis. It'd be easy enough with White Labs offering that analysis fairly cheap nowadays. I reckon most folks that say there's a difference aren't even doing side by side batches, controlling every other variable besides how they choose to, or not choose to, filter their hops.
