Anyone have success with the CIP sprayer? I tried it for an hour or so with PBW and I still had to scrub the bottom where the elements are. It gets the walls and lid ok, but those are cleaned in seconds with a sponge anyway.

Thanks for posting this. I was considering using the brewzilla as a bluetooth to wifi bridge for the rapt pill, but I don't think it's safe to leave plugged in. I don't know why the pill needs another rapt device for bluetooth connectivity instead of a rapt app on a phone.

I adjust the arm and lid with the hose running through a lid handle so the hose just barely goes below the surface of the mash. So my recirc arm is off the the side kind of and then it routes through a lid handle and the hole. It works pretty well to not splash or channel too much.

I haven't found this to be the case, at least as of 6 months ago when I did PID testing. Maybe a firmware update has changed things. If I set the hysteresis to 0.0F I can hear the relays clicking on and off multiple times a second. 0.2F works fine for me and they cycle at a reasonable...

It can be frustrating at first, but I've managed to get mine working fine without the bluetooth thermometer or bottom plate. The mash temperature is fine as long as you get your PID/hysteresis and recirculation dialed in with the lid on and neoprene jacket around it. I guess you could say the...

Can we have the firmware patch notes posted elsewhere than on a private facebook page? You need to login and presumably be a group member to see them. https://gitlab.com/rapt.io/public/-/issues/195 https://www.facebook.com/groups/raptusersgroup

I'm not the original poster, but I've since solved my clogging problems that I had on my first couple of batches and the main causes were essentially turning the pump on with the valve fully/mostly open at the start of the mash. It'll just pull through lots of bits of grain immediately and it'll...

I haven't had the chance to update the firmware this month. Are temperature calibration points saved between firmware updates or do the factory settings get restored? If they aren't then it'd be nice to be able to reinput the values without physically changing the temperature or just have a...

Anyone have tips for mashing large grain bills? My efficiency was lower than expected on my last batch because it was 16.5lbs and I was hitting the max volume at 1.66 qt/lb water so I could only sparge with a little over a gallon through all of that grain. It was hard to stir too since scooping...

Good to hear. I can't offer much help with PID on the 240V unit since I'm on the 110v. There's been people posting their 220v settings in the comments here:

I ran into these issues on my first two batches. The third one I did went well when doing all of these: Start the pump with the valve closed and slowly crack it open. You'll only want it about 1/3 to 1/2 open at most. If the pump starts making noise, try to adjust the valve a little in either...

I did some quick PID testing with the 110V unit and these values seemed to work decently for me with 5 gallons of water: P: 1.0 I: 0.0010 D: 0 I guess the lower power of the 110V unit means the P value should be pretty high. This was just me messing around and having it try to hit a mash temp...

I ran a test with just water and I think I found the cause of the intermittent bubbling and high temperature reading during the boil. It seems to be steam getting caught under the false bottom. I found a couple of things contribute to it: the pump on with the valve half way open so it's...

Has anyone been having issues with the boil temperature reading too high and the boil cutting out after 45+ minutes of boiling? I'm on the 110v 35L system. My first boil was over 217F, so I calibrated it with ice water and boiling water and verified those with another thermometer, then the...

This video has values directly from KegLand and a few of them are a bit different. I wound up using the ones in the video and going for a thinner mash than either.
