I just bought a complete system that is using brewtroller and have ran into a few problems that I can't seem to figure out, and was hoping you may share your experience with me. I would really appreciate it! I've got two issues;
1. The "boil power" setting seems to have no effect. I've changed it to 10% and it is as strong as it is set to 70%. When the burner is on it's such an intense boil that it boils over with volumes as low as 9 gallons. Is there a trick to making that setting work?
2. The boil control setting does not work when set to "auto" below 205 degrees. I'm at a high elevation and the wort starts boiling at about 204.5 degrees and will never reach over 205 degrees, therefore it never turns off the burner. This, combined with the boil power setting not working means I cannot control the boil at all unless I'm manually switching it on and off, which of course is a terrible way to boil wort. I know that 205 is the threshold for the auto function to work because one single time the wort hit 205.2 and it shut off, then came back on when it dropped down to 204. However mostly when boiling it stays at a steady 204.9, which is maddening because if it would hit 205 it would shut off and then back on.
These two issues make it so I basically can't use the system and I can't seem to find any settings in the menus that will fix it. Thanks in advance for any help!
