Hi Has anyone made an equipment profile for this kettle ?

Hi all I am planning a double mash IPA this weekend and planning to do like this: 1. Do the first mash without sparging in order to get a good thick wort with a high OG. 2. Return the wort to the mash tun and do a second mash in the wort with the same amount of malt. How do I handle it...

Hi Thanks for your answers. I am not recirculating as my pump broke down the other day, so that might be the problem.

Hi all I am brewing in my 30liter electric pot controlled by my SYL-2352 PID and an SSR. My problem is that the PID overshoots by 2 to 3 degrees from SV to PV. It is not a big problem when brewing but as I also use it for Sous Vide cooking the extra degrees make a big difference in the long...

Hi MC Thx for your reply. I decided to order the SYL-2352 and the 4 inch sensor as there is plenty of room for it. Im not sure i understand what the SSR is needed for. Until i get my gas valves i will be using the PID for temp monitoring only so i guess an ssr is not needed here ?

Hi all I am looking at the PID's from Auberins.com for monitoring temp in my kettles, but im confused by all the different types. Do i need SSR control output or could i just settle for this one ...
