    Thinking about switching to e-BIAB with Brew-Boss

    The FAQ's on the web site http://www.brew-boss.com/category-s/115.htm show the grain loads and water requirements. The heater will definitely be covered and is not an issue but the main concern is making certain the grain is covered. The chart on the FAQ's shows what is possible.

    Simply add a step type 1 to your step definition file. It will wait for you to press start, effectively pausing. Make sure the temperature you want held is specified for the step.

    This is Darin at Brew-Boss. We no longer offer the budget 7" tablets. We only offer 10" tablets now and sell them at cost ($75). Out purpose is not to be a tablet supplier, but give people a reasonably priced Android tablet option if they don't already have one. We now use the iRULU X1s...

    Yes exactly. The offer to allow owners/brewers to fix themselves is to save the time that would be lost in shipping. We are in a DIY industry and we acknowledge that fact.

    This is Darin from Brew-Boss. The center COFI infusion tubes are produced at another facility and on our last production run apparently they did not use enough heat or flux to properly solder the ends on. If you received a system recently (ordered between Black Friday and January 10th), please...

    Cavitation from sight glass after pickup tube installation

    I like the idea except for the dip tube you have in the design. Please do not use a dip tube with the Brew-Boss system. Dip tubes should not be used on systems with pump recirculation as it forces the pump to inhale sediment (TRUB) that can plug the holes in the COFI filter infusion tube or...

    Thinking about switching to e-BIAB with Brew-Boss

    Price wise you need to compare the BIAB version of Brew-Boss with the HG system. Comparing the COFI is apples and orange comparison as the HG system uses a bag. The Brew-Boss system is almost the same price and provides the automation as well

    As the creator of the Swirl-Boss I feel compelled to respond:mug:. Please see the video in this link. The video shows how to install and position the Swirl-Boss properly to optimize the speed of whirlpool rotation and get the aeration benefits the device offers. The device is not designed to...

    Thinking about switching to e-BIAB with Brew-Boss

    I am the creator of the Brew-Boss system. I saw this post and thought I'd respond. The number one comment I get on the system is wow, is it awesome. The number 2 comment, I wish it were cheaper. The copper sparge arm is a balance between cost and function. As this post indicates, it works...

    Have you checked your water chemistry? It plays a big role in efficiency. Because BIAB is a full volume mash, it has differing buffering capacity than traditional mashing. I'm no expert, but others may want to weigh in on this as well. With the Brew Boss BIAB system, I get from 75-82% and use...

    Thanks for the responses on how you would use dual heating elements. This helps determine what base functionality is needed. Now just working on how to get all the required electronics in the box!

    If someone could please explain how they would use dual heater outputs on the controller I'd start incorporating that functionality into the Brew Boss controller. Note that only one heater can be used at a time. Thanks, Darin Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

    The Brew Boss controller has the capability of driving dual elements, we just started by focusing on single and parallel element solutions. Support for dual elements will be fully supported soon. It will allow only 1 element at a time to be energized though, because the current draw of both at...
