Hi,
I did a brew over the weekend and during the mash-in I noticed that the PID was under 8F, luckily wasn't above... I was brewing a belgian and mashed at 144F.
Anyhow once I adjusted thru the rest of the day all went fine. The next day, yday, I decided start an auto-tune. Fill the tank with 14gals of water at 54F (tap) and set the At to 3.
24+hrs later, still goes. the temp at 187-188F and not sure what's going on. is not set on manual for sure. the second lined cycles thru various automatic power levels. I saw A 0, A 20, etc... it varies. The temperature matches correctly, I used a precised external thermometer.
I started searching but didn't find anything. I thought this will stop automatically after few hours... I might have to stop it.
@kal mentioned once that auto-tuning should be started at 10F below and average mashing temp (152-154F)
Anyone wants to chime in ?I am thinking to stop it, and redo it.
Ps.
I am not recirculating. Should I recirculate during the tuning ? When I mash-in I do use a HERMs and recirculate so technically I am going to answer my own question here. I should recirculate when I tune.
